What is Harmony about?

In Weimar Germany of the 1920's - a time of crippling poverty, political turmoil and unprecedented inflation - six young men formed a musical singing group that eventually took the world by storm.  They were THE COMEDIAN HARMONISTS.  Comprised of a doctor, a Polish rabbi, a Bulgarian singing waiter, a bass from the copic opera, a bordello pianist, and a musical prodigy, they invented a new brand of entertainment, which -- to put it in modern terms -- combined the physical humor of the Marx Brothers with musical sophistication of a singing group like our modern day Manhattan Transfer.  They were completely unique and remain so to this day.  They also made over a dozen films, appeared in the largest and most prestigious concert halls around the world, performed with the greats of their day -- including Marlene Dietrich and Josephine Baker -- and sold millions of records at a time when the recording industry was in its infancy.  As a result of their extraordinary vision, talent and creativity, they were rewarded with unparallelled success, critical acclaim, wealth, and personal fulfillment.  Due to their cultural diversity, however -- some were Jews, some were not -- they fell victim to the darkest forces of the century.  This show is a story about the quest for harmony during the most discordant chapter in human history.  It is a story about finding redemption through remembering.  It is a story waiting to be told.
