The New York debut of the musical revue Hooray for Hollywood! plays on Thursday, June 15 at 8:30 PM in the Birdland Theater. The show is a benefit for The Mabel Mercer Foundation. Devised by writer and producer Barry Day, the show has enjoyed a multi-year run at the Kravis Center for the Performing Arts in West Palm Beach, Florida.
This tribute to Hollywood’s golden age stars Billy Stritch, Carole J. Bufford and Liam Forde, singing classics from timeless hits that are synonymous with the movies, including “The Trolley Song,” “Make ‘Em Laugh,” “One for My Baby,” “Moon River,” “As Time Goes By,” “Two for the Road,” “Put the Blame on Mame” and many more. These are the songs that gave movies a voice—the iconic, familiar tunes that evoke fond memories with just a few notes.
There is a $30 music charge and a $20 food and beverage minimum. For reservations, please call (212) 581-3080 or visit www.BirdlandJazz.com.
Birdland is located at 315 West 44th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues) in Manhattan.
