Which Broadway Choreographer Is Making His NYC Directorial Debut?
Theatre Development Fund – TDF: At a recent matinee of the Off-Broadway revival of Smokey Joe's Cafe: The Songs of Leiber & Stoller, iconic numbers such as "On Broadway" and "Hound Dog" inspired audience members to sing and dance in their seats. During "Stand By Me," an entire throng jumped up, all clapping and grooving to the beloved tune. That's the power of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller's work. Throughout the '50s and '60s, they wrote a wide range of hits for the likes of Elvis, the Coasters, the Drifters and Peggy Lee. For many theatregoers, this is the soundtrack to their youth.
