“Harmony,” a musical about a German singing group upended by the rise of Nazism, will finally open on Broadway this fall with songs by Barry Manilow and his longtime collaborator, Bruce Sussman.

I'm guessing Julie will go into this after FG closes

PipingHotPiccolo said: "Setting aside this unhinged libel of Emergarde for stating an obvious truth with zero ill will, when someone like Sutton Ross says "none of thats true" the world we live in compels me to point out that it IS true: since Porgy and Bess in 2011, Norm Lewis (who i ADORE) was in Phantom, Once on this Island and Chicken and Biscuits-- which one of those were financial successes during--let alone DUE TO--his run?

unreal."

I won't try to psychoanalyze my constant attacker –– I don't care enough, and there's not enough time in the day to unpack all that –– but if we're mounting a case to the courts, I feel the need to state that I think Michael R. Jackson is the most exciting figure writing for musical theatre these days (something that they also, baselessly and bizarrely, brought into question). Not that any of this matters.

But anyway. Back to the thread at hand. HARMONY has now been announced.

Reposting the discount code on the new page: BARRYMORE on Telecharge Offers for tickets starting at $40 (plus fees), valid through May 15.

Very good and smart of them to put tix onsale with a discount code. I kind of assumed that was something that would never happen again.

The code isn't working currently- I actually accidentally placed my order thinking there was another screen to enter it. Called Telecharge and the rep told me it isn't working, but she is making them aware and is going to get back to me.

Code works for me. Also, there's a note on there that the discount is not valid from November 13 through December 30, except for Thursday matinees.

Thank you so much for the code!! Secured my ticket for one of the first previews. The code works but Telecharge offers website gave an error message during the checkout for about half an hour. It eventually worked.

I love it when Broadway gets national press. It doesn't get any bigger than announcing it on The Today Show.

Who is doing the publicity for Manilow/Sussman's show?

I've never used the Telecharge site before and even when I enter the code, it takes me to a screen to choose the seats but the prices aren't discounted. I'm looking at the previews too, not any of the dates that it says the code isn't valid for.

Telecharge Offers, not Telecharge. It's a different site:

Ah thank you! I'll look there.

I also appreciate the code! Got my ticket for November 11th (show will be frozen by then)- Telecharge was extremely helpful in securing the ticket with the code. Combined with an AmEx offer I had for Telecharge, I'm happy with what I paid.

Thank you Taffy for providing the info. I missed this the first go 'round and I really want to see this.

Also worth noting that the fellas from Harmony are being prominently featured in the NY Pops gala performance honoring Manilow at Carnegie Hall next week. They’re certainly leveraging Manilow all they can to drum up buzz.

Thanks for the code Taffy!  A Thursday matinee works for me.  A big savings over the prices I saw earlier!

I missed this earlier today, but interesting that post-Thanksgiving they go to a somewhat unusual schedule: 2 weekday matinees a week. They must REALLY be hoping for lots of senior & student groups. We've seen some other shows try this with indifferent results over the years: Phantom famously had a Thurs mat, a coalition of shows all tried jointly advertising Thurs mats a few summers ago and it did nothing, and Ken D had a crazy schedule for OOTI that had Wed or Thurs as their dark day. We'll see how it goes!

Tue – 7pm
Wed – 2pm
Thur – 2 & 8pm
Fri – 8pm
Sat – 2 & 8pm
Sun – 3pm

Just bought a ticket from someone who had an extra. Looking forward to this.

Thanks for the discount code, Taffy! I was able to get a ticket for a rare Monday evening performance on November 6. I appreciate the info!

Not to knock the hard work of PR teams but I strongly suspect the name Barry Manilow has a lot more to do with getting a coveted morning news spot for their announcement.

This is very sweet. I found myself getting a little emotional reading this - thinking about dreams. 

You got to keep getting up. You got to keep trying in life.
