Musical of Musical (The Musical!)

Sometimes one musical isn't enough...

An all-time audience favorite, Donna Migliaccio and Bobbie Smith reprise their Helen Hayes nominated roles in this critically acclaimed production along with Janine Gulisano-Sunday.

Pearl Bailey...By Request

November 19-December 20, 2009

An evening of marvelous music and memorable stories performed by Roz White as Pearl Bailey, the legendary songstress, acclaimed actress and irrepressible show biz personality. Pearl's "most requested songs" include Baby, It's Cold Outside, St. Louis Blues, Ain't She Sweet. Ms White is joined by Hot Lips Page, played by MetroStage favorite William Hubbard. Playing to sold out audiences last season, Pearl Bailey returns to MetroStage...by request.

Mahalia

January 21-March 14, 2010
A musical biography of Mahalia Jackson, starring the incomparable Bernardine Mitchell, winner of the 2005 Helen Hayes Award for this role. Mahalia chronicles the life of the life of the "Queen of Gospel Music," from her beginnings in the segregated South to her debut on the stage of Carnegie Hall, culminating in her triumphant performance on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. This brilliant musical tribute also features William Hubbard, who received a Helen Hayes nomination for this performance.

Tiny Dancer

April 15-May 9, 2010
Acclaimed singer/songwriter Paul Scott Goodman, an authentic Scottish Jewish guitar playing rocker, tells his story of living and surviving the Soho music scene in the ‘80s; as an artist, a lover, and ultimately a father. The "son of a standup comedian," Goodman's songs tell a story of love and hope, a story due in no small part to Arthur Miller. With wry wit and uncompromising honesty Tiny Dancer captures the unique sights and sounds, challenges and complexities of life as an artist in Manhattan. Goodman returns to MetroStage after his award-winning musical Rooms a rock romance premiered here last season.
