These amazing performers light up the stage with songs from classic and hit films such as: Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Casablanca, Wizard of Oz, Goldfinger, Moulin Rouge, A Star is Born, Titanic, Dreamgirls, New York New York and many more. Neil Berg presents brilliantly revived arrangements of classics as well as fantastic numbers from Hollywood’s newest hit films.

NEIL BERG is the composer/lyricist of the hit off-Broadway musical The Prince and the Pauper, which ran for two years at the Lamb’s Theater in New York City. The New York Times described it as “…soaring on the wings of theatrical fun.” Berg is currently writing the music for the Broadway bound musical Grumpy Old Men, based on the hit film. Two of Berg’s new musicals have been selected for the prestigious New York Musical Theater Festival: The Man Who Would Be King, a musical realization of Rudyard Kipling’s novella, and Tim and Scrooge, the sequel to A Christmas Carol.

This hilarious tax-dodging comedy follows a pair of bumbling, tax-cheating bachelors whose ruse unravels when the I.R.S. comes to investigate. Jon and Leslie, who have been roommates for years, try to save money by filing their taxes as husband and wife, but the I.R.S. is suspicious and sends an agent to investigate. Leslie must pretend to be Jon’s wife, but the plan unravels as Jon’s mother comes to meet her son’s fiancée and the landlord doesn’t approve of unwed couples under the same roof. This wild play is like a ’70s style cross between “I Love Lucy” and “Some Like it Hot.”
