The score includes “A Bushel and a Peck,” “Luck Be A Lady,” “Take Back Your Mink,” “Sit Down You’re Rockin’ the Boat” and “If I Were A Bell.”

Additional creative personnel include costume consultant William Ivey Long, lighting designer Alan Adelman, projections designer Wendall K. Harrington and sound designer Nevin Steinberg, with casting by Telsey + Company.

The musical is presented with full orchestra, cast and ensemble, and is a gala benefit, providing support for the music education programs of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute.
