The New York Musical Theatre Festival got off to a festive start with "Opening Night: The Back-to-NYMF Fall Pep Rally," which took place on September 10th at New World Stages.

"Kick the Fest off right with NYMFettes on the megaphone and the casts and creative teams of all of our shows, concerts and special events in the house for good food, plenty of drink, a little dancing and some good old-fashioned spirit. Give us an N! Give us a Y! Give us an M! Give us an F! What does it spell?? PARTY," stated press notes.
