THE LAUNCH

Soledad O’brien and Lily Tomlin

In Your Face—New York got its start as a prototype production at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theater  in New York.  Lily Tomlin joined Soledad O’Brien and Misha Dichter for the launch of this star-studded show.  Musical Director Jay Leonhart put together a tight,  brilliant brand and introduced the catchy In Your Face-New York theme.  Dr. Josh Bazell left the audience agitated and distressed with his description of how New Yorkers co-exist with rats and Arturo O’Farrill brought terrific salsa sounds   to a cheering audience.  Watch or listen to highlights of this groundbreaking show.
