“Harmony” at the Ahmanson


March 4th-April 13th


Music by Barry Manilow. Book and lyrics by Bruce Sussman Directed by Tony Speciale. A co-production with the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta. “Harmony” is inspired by the true story of The Comedian Harmonists, six young men in 1920s and 1930s Germany who rose from unemployed street musicians to become world-famous entertainers, selling millions of records, starring in over a dozen films, and selling out the most prestigious concert halls around the world. Yet while The Comedian Harmonists’ sophisticated music, paired with hilarious comedy, made them the brightest of stars, the group’s mixture of Jews and non-Jews put them on a collision course with history.
