A Tribute to Jeff Richmond, featuring Tina Fey, Jonathan Groff & more! - Nova Ball 2019

Описание: On December 2, 2019, Ars Nova honored Jeff Richmond (from Ars Nova’s “Melancholy Baby!” to “Mean Girls” & “30 Rock”) and Joe Iconis (from Ars Nova’s “Bloodsong of Love” to “Be More Chill” & “Broadway Bounty Hunter”) and celebrated Ars Nova’s next wave of promising artists at NOVA BALL 2019.

In this Tribute to Jeff Richmond, we harken back to Ars Nova's inaugural production in 2002, "Melancholy Baby!" — a musical version of Hamlet written by two guys named Jeff Richmond and Michael Thomas... pretending to be two guys named Heinzplatt and DeSelza. The opening of Act II featured a tribute to Heinzplatt and DeSelza. Bob Balaban introduces an excerpt from that show, with full dramaturgical context, performed by a rockstar lineup including Tina Fey, Jonathan Groff, Jack McBrayer, Audra McDonald, Kate Rockwell, Kyle Selig, Jennifer Simard, Greg Hildreth & more.
