The following is a repost of a post originally published last year when the York Theater Company's initial production of Cheek to Cheek: Irving Berlin in Hollywood originally opened. We were given complimentary tickets for review purposes at that time. The post has been slightly edited and updated as necessary. Any and all opinions expressed here are our own.
What: Cheek to Cheek: Irving Berlin in Hollywood
Where: The York Theatre at Theatre at St. Jean's
150 E. 76th St.
New York, NY
Who: Ages 10 and Up
When: Through October 16. 2022
Cheek to Cheek: Irving Berlin in Hollywood is a musical walk through the film career of the renowned composer. Of course, it does not cover all of his songs not even all of his movie songs. It would be impossible to completely cover his vast catalog even if the show's 80-minute running time were many times longer. However, the show does give a nice overview of his career.
The show is a musical review. There is no storyline. If you are only familiar with Berlin's more popular songs and you are waiting to hear one of your favorite songs, you may be disappointed. Many of the songs in the show are not necessarily the most popular songs. The two most popular songs in the show are probably Cheek to Cheek and Let's Face the Music and Dance. Still, if you want to learn about Irving Berlin's Hollywood career and enjoy some nice singing and dancing, you will want to attend this show.
And that's our view. Tune in tomorrow for Tips for Tuesday.
