The King's Singers' ability to communicate with audiences worldwide is what has earned these six Englishmen their reputation as the world's most sought-after a cappella ensemble. Like a painter with brush and palette, the King's Singers vocally create the broad spectrum of colors through music and text to express the entire range of human emotion.
The ensemble returns to the Barclay after many years with a program ideally suited to their musical roots. The first act features various musical interpretations of The Lord's Prayer by the likes of Igor Stravinsky, Leonard Bernstein and John Tavener; and in its second half, a selection of audience favorites.
The King's Singers have a magical ability to move audiences and lift spirits.
David Sedaris

With sardonic wit and incisive social critiques, David Sedaris has become one of America's pre-eminent humor writers. The great skill with which he slices through cultural euphemisms and political correctness proves that Sedaris is a master of satire and one of the most observant writers addressing the human condition today.
Likened to a modern-day Mark Twain, Sedaris is noted for his ability to draw humorous, touching and universal observations about human nature from his own, often quirky experiences. A former National Public Radio host, he has become a best-selling author with titles such as Me Talk Pretty One Day, Dress Your Family in Denim and Corduroy, When You Are Engulfed in Flames, and Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk: A Modest Bestiary. His latest book is entitled, Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls.

A Broadway hit, Forever Tango features Argentina's best - 14 world-class dancers accompanied by a vocalist and the hypnotic rhythms of a live orchestra.
Passionate and sophisticated, the dancers of Forever Tango inhabit a world where everything can be said with the flick of a leg, the tug of a hand, the tap of a foot and the arch of an eyebrow. Relive the colorful history of one of the most sensuous of all dance forms through mesmerizing vignettes that display all the emotion and passion of tango - from turn-of-the-century Buenos Aires to the golden age of tango of the 30s, 40s and 50s. So Argentine in origin, yet universal in appeal, Forever Tango inhabits a signature sensuality and mystique that is tango.
The longest-running tango show in Broadway history, Forever Tango made a return engagement on Broadway in July 2013.
