Huffington Post has added New York, New York to their list of top shows! Author Candice Frederick states, "As The Great White Way continues advancing toward diversity, this year’s highlights gave us the most narrative variety we’ve seen in a while."
She goes on to add, "New York, New York is a beautifully paced, sweeping narrative that recaptures the devastating, romantic, and, at times, triumphant era of 1946 New York City. While theoretically welcome, the thought of a more racially diverse cast comes with questions of, for instance, how realistic the portrayal of Black singer Francine Evans (a phenomenal Anna Azele) will fit into this previously white story and within this time period. But those concerns quickly melt away as we’re immersed in Francine’s central romance with Jimmy Doyle (Coltan Ryan), a white saxophone player similarly determined for greatness. The two battle trials and tribulations throughout the years, individually and together, are illuminated by a magnificently versatile set and powerhouse musical performances. New York, New York is everything you want in a theater experience."
