York Theatre Company Announces MUSICALS IN MUFTI: THE TOM JONES FESTIVAL

The award-winning York Theatre Company (James Morgan, Producing Artistic Director) celebrates the legendary librettist and lyricist Tom Jones with a spring series:   Musicals in Mufti:  The Tom Jones Festival, featuring  The Show Goes On (March 16-18), Roadside (March 30 – April 1), Harold and Maude(April 13-15), Colette Collage (April 27-29), and The Game of Love (May 11-13) at The York Theatre at Saint Peter's on 54^th St, just east of Lexington Avenue.  Casting will be announced shortly.  

York's acclaimed Musicals in Mufti Series of musical theatre gems in staged concert performances has presented over 80 shows from the past in simply-staged concert format.  Mufti means: "in street clothes," without the trappings associated with the original productions.

"We are thrilled and excited to showcase the works of our dear friend, Tom Jones, who has given us so many significant musical theater gems," said York Theatre's James Morgan.  "This year we thought we would once again present a series honoring a single writer, but present more shows than we ever have before because Tom's body of work is so rich.  It's a celebration I think everyone will enjoy. It's also noteworthy that three of these shows had their premieres at York." 

The performance schedule for each presentation is:  Fridays at 8:00 p.m., *Saturdays at 2:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and *Sundays at 2:30 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. (*Talkbacks follow all matinee performances).   

Tickets are priced at  $39.50 and are available online at www.yorktheatre.org, by calling (212) 935-5820, or in person at the box office at the York Theatre at Saint Peter's (enter on 54^th Street, just East of Lexington), Monday through Friday (12-6 PM).  A special 5-show package is available at $150 and includes an invitation to Story by Story: A Conversation with Tom Jones on Wednesday, April 4^th (normally $24.50).
