Holiday Revue That Time of Year Opens December 7

The holiday revue That Time of Year, presented by the The York Theatre Company in association with Whiskey Down Productions, opens tonight, December 7th at the York Theatre Company.  The show began previews on November 29th.

The show is a musical revue of original songs celebrating the holidays – Christmas, and Hanukkah– with book and lyrics by the 2006 Kleban Award winners Laurence Holzman & Felicia Needleman and music by Sanford Marc Cohen, Nicholas Levin, Donald Oliver, Kyle Rosen, Brad Ross, Mark Wherry and Wendy Wilf. The show is directed and choreographed by Annette Jolles.  The creative team also includes: Annie Pasqua as musical director, James Morgan as set designer, Chris Robinson as lighting designer and Terese Wadden as costume designer. 

That Time of Year "is a unique interfaith holiday celebration with songs that run the musical gamut from show tunes to rock, blues and jazz.  The songs range from funny numbers highlighting the joys and anxieties of the holiday season to beautiful, touching ballads about the meaning behind the holidays," as York notes state.

The show plays a limited engagement through December 24th.  For ticket information, visit www.yorktheatre.org or call 212-935-5820.
