That Time of the Year is an all-new musical revue of original songs highlighting the joys and anxieties of the holiday season. With concept and lyrics by the 2006 Kleban Award-winning team of Laurence Holzman and Felicia Needleman and music by Sanford Marc Cohen, Nicholas Levin, Donald Oliver, Kyle Rosen, Brad Ross, Mark Wherry and Wendy Wilf, the revue "celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah with warmth, humor and an eclectic musical style. Music runs the gamut from show tunes to rock, blues and jazz and the songs range from upbeat group numbers, which convey the angst and stress associated with the season, to touching ballads about family and the meaning behind the festivals. The show is the perfect holiday treat – with none of the calories!," state York notes.For information, visit www.yorktheatre.org or call 212-935-5820.
