NYMF - New Productions Added To Current Slate!

Fresh from this year's Fringe, THE COSMIC CALAMITIES OF HENRY NOODLE and HOW TO SAVE THE WORLD AND FIND TRUE LOVE - IN 90 MINUTES have been invited to participate in the uptown NYMF, giving them the opportunity to extend their successful runs. As previously announced, LULU, an original selection of the New York Musical Theatre Festival also coming off the Fringe, will continue with performances during the Festival.

In addition to the above three, FRINGICAL!: A FRINGICAL!!, a tongue-in-cheek romp centered around the famed festival, has also been added to the 2004 NYMF slate.

Additional information and performance schedules are as follows:

"The Cosmic Calamities of Henry Noodle: a sci-fi musical comedy adventure"
Book, music and lyrics by Tim McCanna
Mixing sci-fi parody with a melodious, musical landscape ranging from polka and pop to Broadway-style show stoppers and schmaltzy Christmas tunes, The Cosmic Calamities of Henry Noodle is fresh enough for the hippest of New York theatergoers, but fun for all ages.

"How To Save The World and Find True Love - in 90 Minutes"
Book and Lyrics by Jonathan Karp, Music by Seth Weinstein
A hilarious pop musical about Hot Relations at the United Nations. A cowardly tour guide, a sexy diplomat, and an idealistic slacker risk everything when an office romance leads to global crisis. A modern tale of love and paranoia.
