Review: MasterVoices' STRIKE UP THE BAND at Carnegie Hall Revives a 1920s Gem
What MasterVoices does is very special. The lush one-night-only production of STRIKE UP THE BAND on 10/28 revived and revised a Gershwin/Kaufman show with a full orchestra, 145-person chorus, dancers and a star-studded, superb principal cast. MasterVoices’ 2024-25 season continues next year on February 3 and 4 with Blind Injustice.
