Bullets fly and bathtub gin flows in Cole Porter’s 1930 Prohibition jape The New Yorkers, a gleefully amoral celebration of speakeasies, gangsters, society dames, and the great city they love. The musical centers on featherbrained socialite Alice Wentworth, whose bootlegger beau leads her on a madcap romp from Park Avenue to Sing Sing and back again. The New Yorkers produced a number of Broadway standards—“I Happen to Like New York,” “Love for Sale”—but much of the original material has been lost, making this Encores! production and cast album the most ambitious musical reconstruction ever!
