Shore Thing

August 17, 2017

New York, New York, it’s still a helluva town. On Monday, August 21, Inwood Art Works/Film Works Alfresco will feature On the Town  in English with Spanish subtitles. Pre-show begins at 7:45 in Gaelic Field, Inwood Hill Park (soccer field).

“New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town – especially in this classic adaptation of the 1944 Broadway musical, directed and choreographed by Gene Kelley.  Featuring Academy Award -winning score by Leonard Bernstein and Roger Edens and book and lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, we follow three sailors (Frank Sinatra, Jules, Munshin, and Gene Kelly) on a day of shore leave in the Big Apple looking for fun and romance before their twenty-four hours are up.”

OZZIE:
Come on, Gabey, hurry up!
CHIP:
Twenty-four hours!
SAILOR:
Hey, why don’t ya look where you’re goin‘.
You’d think it was your first time in New York!
GABEY:
It is!
(The sailors look around them, happily absorbing the scene.)
GABEY, CHIP, OZZIE:
New York, New York!
It’s a helluva town!
GABEY:
We’ve got one day here and not another minute
To see the famous sights!
