8:00PM NYMF Preview

Going Down Swingin'
NYMF production directed by Jenny Lord
With music by Peter Hilliard, lyrics by Matt Boresi
Featuring performances by Jillian Louis, Arielle Doneson and Reed Prescott

"A boozing, womanizing crooner is haunted by the misdeeds of his past in this sexy and swingin' comedy, set at the end of radio's golden age.  It's 1956, and caddish crooner Dean Newhouse's once-successful radio variety show is facing a dangerous new foe...Television.  As Dean struggles to keep his show afloat, his bitter and double-crossed cast plots his come-uppance, in this innovative and hysterical reinvention of the controversial classic Don Giovanni!"

The Yellow Wood
NYMF production directed by Tony Award Winner B.D. Wong
Winner 2006 Richard Rodgers Award and Daryl Roth Award
With music by Danny Larsen, lyrics by Michelle Elliot and Danny Larsen and book by Michelle Elliot
Featuring performances by Jason Tam, Randy Blair, Caissie Levy and Maryann Hu

"The Yellow Wood is a musical kaleidoscope where not-so-normal 17-year old Adam takes a fantastic, unpredictable journey as he struggles to accept all the parts of himself:  his ADD, his Korean heritage and his complex relationships with friends and family.  The Yellow Wood explores the angst, joy and highly imaginative state of one teen's amazing brain."
