York, a Drama Desk and two-time IRNE Award winner, and Barrett, an LA Drama Critics Award winner and Olivier Award nominee, will sing some of their favorite love songs from the stage, screen, and American Songbook.
In this musical Valentine to love and laughter, York (City of Angels, Les Misérables, Victor/Victoria, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and Barrett (Grand Hotel, Chicago, Annie Get Your Gun, Phantom – The Las Vegas Spectacular) rekindle the sizzle and spark that stole London’s and America’s hearts as the battling but still so-in-love exes in “Kiss Me, Kate.” They also co-starred in the Ovation Award-winning production of “Anything Goes” at Reprise! Theatre Company in Los Angeles.
In “Isn’t It Romantic?” York and Barrett reminisce with a number of Cole Porter tunes including “So in Love,” “You’re the Top,” and “I Get a Kick out of You.” They also sing classics such as “How to Handle a Woman,” “Anything You Can Do,” “I’ve Grown Accustomed to Her Face,” “Maybe This Time” and “Music of the Night” along with popular standards like “My Funny Valentine,” “Someone to Watch over Me,” “He Touched Me” and “Send in the Clowns.”
York is well known to Boston audiences for her touring and pre-Broadway performances in “Kiss Me, Kate,” “Sly Fox,” and “The 101 Dalmatians Musical.” She also earned back-to-back IRNE Awards for her starring roles in Reagle’s “Hello, Dolly!” and “Into the Woods.” She has just completed a two-month run starring as Anna Leonowens in “The King and I” in Philadelphia. Barrett has charmed local theater-goers in recent productions of “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at the Cape Playhouse and North Shore Music Theatre. He has just completed a return engagement on Broadway as the fast-talking legal eagle Billy Flynn in the long-running hit “Chicago.”
