 I just noticed the West Side Story 60th Anniversary Celebration show at 54 below on Sept 26, 2017.

"This very special 60th anniversary program will feature appearances by both young talent and theatre veterans singing some of the most beloved Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim songs from the score"

Any guesses on who might appear?

Perhaps something from Avenue Q?

I was at the Saturday matinee which he also did.  I thought he was amazing.  Granted this was my first time seeing the show, so I can't compare him to the others, but I loved his take on the role.  I was shocked when I realized it was his first time.

holy - this is shaping up to be quite the year...  :)
 

The perfect year ??

 

Are you sure they were working on the pipes during the performance?  Sometime pipes will make a clanging sound if if there are issues, so the sound may have just been a side effect of the problem.

Several songs from Sondheim's Passion are letters

You must be new to the board

I would highly recommend the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side.  It is not an art museum, but they provide guided tours of apartments that recreate immigrant life in the 19th and 20th centuries. It's truly fascinating.  While you're on the Lower East side, there are some great food options such as Russ and Daughters or Katz's delicatessen, so it would make a nice morning itinerary.

I also recommend the Highline, as another poster has mentioned.

I am the very model of a modern major general from Pirates of Penzance

I will hope that they add a performance at the Arsht Center in Miami!  Not likely, I suppose, but I can hope!
