A New Play, Featuring the Fan-Fave, “The Singer”

Posted on December 12, 2020 | Leave a comment

#SpecialAnnouncement#ANewMusical We know many “5th Dimension aficionados” hold “The Singer” co-written by LaMonte McLemore & Elliot Willensky, soloed so powerfully by Billy Davis, Jr. on The 5th Dimension’s iconic “Love’s Lines” album as a fan favorite! Guess what? There is a new play called “Elliot & Me”–a musical comedy based on the life of songwriter Elliot Willensky and his bond with younger brother Steven (Willensky). It’s a heartfelt story of brotherly love including Elliot’s rise to “writing stardom” penning hits for The 5th Dimension, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston. The score includes all these songs and yes, the show-stopping number “The Singer” delivered by Broadway actor Eric Briarley with tenderness, fire and passion. “Elliot & Me” is filled with humor, colorful personalities, unexpected situations, and uplifting musical moments.

Watch Online! * Tickets for “Elliot & Me” are available now at: https://onthestage.com/hudson-theatre…/individual-tickets
