The singing duo, The Inkwell Singers—Andy Rice and Matthew Schermerhorn— debut Broadway Babies on Thursday, June 6 and Saturday, June 8, both at 7 PM at The Triad Theater. Music director and pianist David Shenton is joined by bassist Jerry DeVore.
Returning to The Triad for their seventh show, Broadway Babies features a selection of Rice and Schermerhorn’s favorite songs from musical theater, many of which will be familiar and some not. Numbers are from the catalogs of Stephen Sondheim, Kander & Ebb, Stephen Schwartz, Marvin Hamlisch, David Yazbek, Rogers & Hammerstein, Alan Menken, Leonard Bernstein and others.
Matthew Schermerhorn and Andy Rice have been singing together since they met in the Lesbian/Gay Chorus in San Francisco in 1995. They founded Musaic, a San Francisco men’s a cappella vocal ensemble focusing on classical music and pop tunes that performed over two hundred concerts in its twenty-year tenure. Since moving to New York in 2015 they have been emersed in cabaret, having just completed their 14th show.
There is a cover charge of $35 (advance, including fees) to $45 (at the door) and a two-drink minimum. Tickets and information are available here. Tickets are available on the day of performance at the door after 6:30pm.
The Triad Theater is located at 158 West 72nd Street, NYC
