UNDER THE BRIDGE
A New Musical by David Pomeranz
& Kathie Lee Gifford, Now playing Off-Broadway.
Dear Friends,
 |
There’s something exciting happening down on 37th St. in New York City I wanted to tell you about. A new musical, “Under The Bridge”, for which I composed the music, is now running Off-Broadway at the Zipper Theater and I couldn’t be more proud.
About two years ago, Kathie |
| “The Family Under The Bridge” (a charming story of a Parisian hobo named Armand and the homeless family who take shelter beneath “his” bridge.) Kathie Lee wrote the marvelous lyrics and book and the more we worked on it, the more we fell in love with the songs we were writing and the characters who would sing them. |

Our entire cast, led by Broadway veteran, Ed Dixon, is a wonder to behold and direction by Eric Schaeffer, The cast with David, Kathie Lee I am so proud of what we’ve all accomplished and, if you’re in the "HERE'S WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING ABOUT 'UNDER THE BRIDGE"
"A heartwarming new show for families." "UNDER THE BRIDGE is the perfect destination for anyone who prefers the traditional pleasures of an old-fashioned musical. The skillfully written, lively and lovely score propels the plot along with tuneful zest." "Ed Dixon is a revelation. Florence Lacey lends warmth and a gorgeous voice to the production. Jacquelyn Piro conveys strength and vulnerability in equal measure." "Marvelous performances. Ed Dixon is abundantly talented, Jacquelyn Piro is appealing and Florence Lacey is beguiling." "Energetic performances all around. Special kudos for the likeable Mr. Dixon in the starring role.” "The new year in New York Theater begins on a positive note with UNDER THE BRIDGE, a new off-Broadway musical with old-fashioned charm." "Kathie Lee Gifford has crafted a straightforward script with lyrics that are neat and thoughtful. David Pomeranz’s score offers easygoing waltzes and appealing ballads that sit nicely on the ear. The catchy score effectively suggests the show’s Parisian atmosphere. The smarts of this first collaboration between Gifford and Pomeranz augur well
for the success of their next endeavor." “Under The Bridge” is a great show! The staging was terrific, the music was top drawer and the cast was as good as any house on Broadway.” "A sentimental heartwarmer of a tale. Ms. Gifford’s lyrics carry off some nifty word play. UNDER THE BRIDGE has a strong cast and a grade-A production team. Mr. Dixon is sumptuously sardonic as Armand, and the three kids are just plain terrific. I liked it." "Kids will love this classic come to life!” "UNDER THE BRIDGE is a polished piece with engaging songs that are energetically performed." "The musical is both touching and comical. With songs that are clean and hummable." "A contemporary fairy tale with echoes of Oliver, Annie and Les Miz!" “A show adults will cherish. The story is complete and involving with loveable characters the audience really cares about. The songs are lively – the kinds one sings for days” “Friends whose opinions I respect have seen the Off-Broadway musical, “Under The Bridge” and they love it!” Click here
