The York Theatre Company is excited to announce our New2NY Fall 2024 Series! This New2NY season features four new musicals, previously unseen in New York, lovingly and minimally staged in the Musicals in Mufti style.
Book and Lyrics by LISSA LEVIN
Music by RON ABEL
Music Director RON ABEL
Directed by BILL CASTELLINO
In Twist of Fate, with book and lyrics by Kleban Award-winner Lissa Levin and music by Ron Abel (Hazel, York’s me and ella), a fortuneteller is arrested in 1970’s Los Angeles, and to win the respect of her teenage daughter, fights the law instead of running from it. But first, she needs the respect of her court-appointed attorney. Based on an actual first amendment case, Twist of Fate will be directed by Bill Castellino (Cagney, Desperate Measures at the York), with musical direction by Ron Abel.

Next Week:
Peter’s Brainteaser:
He was a real-life, genuine Hollywood personality.
No, he was no Tony-winner, to be sure, mostly because he never appeared on Broadway.
But he was mentioned in a lyric in not one but two musicals that ran concurrently for a span of 2,266 days. Two musicals that have something else and something far more significant in common.
So – who’s the actor, what are the two musicals in which he was mentioned – and what other commonality have the shows?
