Mane Event

For 25 years, Chor Leoni has been launching each summer by mixing it up on the Bard on the Beach stage—wildly jumping from Broadway hits to folk songs, funk, and everything in between. But now the all-male choir’s schedule has become so busy that it’s bidding adieu to the warm-weather showstopper—but not before reprising a hit from its first performance on the Bard stage, Miles Ramsay’s merging of Cole Porter’s “So in Love” with Leonard Bernstein’s “Tonight”. That piece will share the farewell program with everything from Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” to a Lady Gaga/Madonna mashup. Yes, the boys are going to go out in style. 

Chor Leoni presents Mane Event at Bard on the Beach this Monday (June 25) and next (July 2).
