Doreen Taylor, Davis Gaines Set for Hammerstein Docu-Musical 'AN ENCHANTED EVENING' Off-Broadway

Fresh from the sold-out premiere at the Bristol Riverside Theatre in Philadelphia, the brand new, innovative "docu-musical" AN ENCHANTED EVENING: A NIGHT WITH OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II is coming Off-Broadway for a limited December 2017 engagement.

The star-studded evening presents award-winning vocalist and Billboard Top 100 recording artist Doreen Taylor in her official Off-Broadway debut, and a special performance by renowned Broadway star, Davis Gaines (Phantom of the Opera, Sweeney Todd, Man of La Mancha).

Making her official Off Broadway debut benefitting the Oscar Hammerstein II Museum & Theatre Education Center, Billboard charting TOP 100 recording artist, Doreen Taylor raises the bar headlining the new docu-musical, "An Enchanted Evening: A Night with Oscar Hammerstein II" running December 8, 2017 to December 17, 2017 at the 777 Theatre at the Roy Arias Theater Center- 777 8th Ave. (Between 47th & 48th). Special guest performance by Broadway's Davis Gaines. Tickets on sale at hammersteinlive.com. Proceeds will be donated to help save Highland Farm in Doylestown, PA.

After receiving critical acclaim in its Philadelphia debut, this cutting edge, 90-minute "docu-musical" highlights Oscar's evolution to become one of the most important lyricists of all time. Possessing a rare opportunity to work closely with William Hammerstein (Oscar Hammerstein's grandson) to obtain private, personal stories, rarely before seen images and videos, and an in-depth glimpse into the life of Oscar Hammerstein, "An Enchanted Evening" is a one-of-a kind, intimate show highlighting Oscar's life and music through documentary story-telling and imaginative performances.

Will Hammerstein has proudly embraced this new production and is thrilled at the docu-musical's success of highlighting the honorable values and principles of which his grandfather embodied. "Doreen's talent and personal values make her a perfect torchbearer for this exemplary legacy [Oscar Hammerstein II]. I'm sure Oscar would be very pleased with the association."

Being able to return to her musical theatre roots in her home state of NY while supporting a cause that helps save a historic Broadway landmark makes this evening an extra special achievement for Doreen.

"I grew up performing in the great shows that Oscar Hammerstein II helped create and to think that the very place these shows were conceived is now being threatened is a travesty. I created this show from a very special place in my heart and as a labor of love. I revere Oscar and will always be grateful for forever changing the landscape of musical theatre history and being able to help save this legendary landmark is a great honor for me."

An Enchanted Evening Featured in The Princeton Packet

An Enchanted Evening: A Night With Oscar Hammerstein II debuting on August 24th at the Bristol Riverside Theatre was featured in the Princeton Packet. Headliner Doreen Taylor sat down with the paper and discussed the brand new show in this wonderfully in depth interview.

"He really was ahead of his time, and he paved the way for so many topics and things people weren't talking about at the time," Taylor says. "He was really liberal and he pushed the envelope in many different ways. It's intriguing and I'm so glad I'm going to be able to teach a theater full of people something about him. I really wanted to make a show where even someone who knows a lot about him will walk away learning something and on the same side, somebody who doesn't know anything will come away enlightened. So we're going to try to do that and also do some great music, with great performances of his best stuff."

Doreen Taylor on Playbill.com

"An Enchanted Evening: A Night With Oscar Hammerstein II" starring award winning singer and Billboard Top 100 recording artist Doreen Taylor was featured on Playbill.com. The in-depth piece highlights the current movement to help save 'Highland Farm' where Oscar Hammerstein II lived and created some of Broadway's greatest musicals (Sound of Music, The King & I, Carousel, South Pacific, Oklahoma!, etc) and the brand new show/musical revue that has been created by Taylor to help raise money and awareness.

Taylor told Playbill, “I grew up performing in many of the great shows that Oscar Hammerstein II helped create and I have always been very fond of his work. In March, I happened to meet Will and Mandee Hammerstein (and Oscar IV!!) at a music video premiere party I hosted for my single ‘Unstoppable’ in Philadelphia. We really hit it off and I learned about how Highland Farm's future was being threatened and I immediately offered to step up and help. It seemed like a no-brainer for me to lend my talents to the cause in the best way I could—through music and performing. I created this show from a very special place in my heart and as a labor of love. I honor Oscar and will always be grateful for forever changing the landscape of musical theatre history and being able to help save this legendary landmark is a great honor for me.” Click here to read the whole story!

The show debuts on Thursday, August 24th 7:30pm at the Bristol Riverside Theatre (120 Radcliffe Street Bristol, PA)
