DANNY AND SYLVIA Announces New Performance Schedule Beginning 3/19

"DANNY and SYLVIA: THE DANNY KAYE MUSICAL" the long-running off-Broadway musical at the St. Luke's Theatre, 308 West 46th Street, will begin playing Saturdays at 5 PM as of March 19th. Also of note, Kimberly Faye Greenberg, who co-stars as ‘Sylvia Fine', is also playing the title role in the new musical "One Night with Fanny Brice" at St Luke's Theatre, thus becoming the only actress in New York to be playing leading roles in two legit musicals at the same time! (And in the same theatre!)

The musical love story, with book and lyrics by Robert McElwaine and music by Bob Bain, stars Helen Hayes Award-winner Brian Childers as Danny Kaye and Kimberly Faye Greenberg as his wife and creative partner, Sylvia Fine who wrote many of his most famous songs. Directed by Pamela Hall with choreography by Gene Castle, the musical follows the duo from the time the young undisciplined comic Danny Kaminsky meets aspiring songwriter Sylvia Fine at an audition in the 1930s. Under Sylvia's guidance as mentor, manager and eventually, wife, Kaye rises from improvisational comic to international film star. The musical explores their inspired collaboration and the romance and conflict that made them such a volatile and successful couple. Many of Danny's hit songs are featured including "Tchaikovsky," "Anatole of Paris," "Minnie the Moocher" and "Deenah." The musical has been presented successfully in London and Washington, DC.

BRIAN CHILDERS received the 2002 Helen Hayes Award for "Outstanding Leading Actor in a Musical" and the 2001 Mary Goldwater Award for his performance as Danny Kaye in Danny and Sylvia: A Musical Love Story.

KIMBERLY FAYE GREENBERG, who plays Sylvia Fine, is also playing the title role in "One Night With Fanny Brice" in the same off-Broadway Theatre, St. Luke's, thus being the only actress to be playing leading roles in two legit musicals at the same time! Kimberly has performed across the United States in national tours, regional theatres, cabarets and theatre for young audiences.
