WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The original 1940s revue Make Mine Manhattan is a loving send-up of New York City's most infamous borough. Struggling actors, disgruntled theatre critics and hapless out-of-towners all bite the Big Apple in this sparkling entertainment!
Make Mine Manhattan is being presented as it was originally conceived by its authors; the initial drafts describe the musical as "a pocket revue, designed for a cast of eight with two pianos." This new production will feature discarded dialogue and four musical numbers cut prior to the revue's Broadway bow: "I Gotta Have You", "New York Gal", "Old Fashioned Girl", "Please Take It Back".

Make MIne Manhattan, a once-topical musical amuse bouche from 1948, has returned to the stage courtesy of Unsung Musicals at the Connelly Theatre in the East Village. There's plenty of charm and heart -- and a good deal of talent -- behind this production, but it's ultimately not enough to bring this piece back to life for contemporary audiences.
Featuring some joyously jaunty tunes by composer Richard Lewine and lyricist Arnold B. Horwitt (also the work's sketch writer), the show tweaks life in the Big Apple in all of its glory, from the crushes that people living in the same apartment building can develop for another to the inconvenient effect that movie shoots have on the locals.
