Performances are underway The York Theatre's second production of its Spring 2025 “New2NY” series – Who is Jimmy Pants?, with music and lyrics by Joseph Church, and book and lyrics by Jeff Bienstock.

A zany, loving satire of bio-jukebox musicals, Who is Jimmy Pants? is both a comical nod to the current epidemic of jukebox shows and an homage to the entertainment value and joy that they bring to audiences. Clever choreography and lively original songs spanning the 60s to the 2000s add to the hilarity. Its Spinal Tap meets The Drowsy Chaperone, with a rocking musical score!
Who is Jimmy Pants? will be directed and choreographed by Stephen Nachamie, with music direction by Benjamin Weiss. The production is executive produced by Kierstead Productions, Inc./Jim Kierstead.
