Lewis Cleale, John Ellison Conlee, Judy Kuhn, and Emily Skinner will join lyricist Sheldon Harnick and music director Rob Fisher for Collector’s Items: Other People’s Lyrics at the 92nd Street Y, April 8-10.

Presented as part of the Y’s “Lyrics and Lyricists” series, this unusual show will explore the work of those who influenced Harnick, co-author of such shows as Fiorello, Fiddler on the Roof, and She Loves Me. The program is expected to include songs by Burt Bachrach and Hal David, David Zippel, Amanda McBroom, John Kander and Fred Ebb, and Stephen Sondheim.

Cleale starred on Broadway in Amour, Once Upon a Mattress, and Swinging on a Star. Conlee’s Broadway credits include The Full Monty and The Constant Wife. Kuhn is a three-time Tony Award nominee for She Loves Me, Chess, and Les Misérables. Skinner received a Tony nomination for Side Show and will play Agnes Gooch in the upcoming Kennedy Center production of Mame.
