BABES IN ARMS

June 6 and June 9
Three Performances Only!

Riverdale Rising Stars Jr. proudly presents the musical BABES IN ARMS for a limited engagement of three performances only: Thursday, June 6 at 7:00pm, and Sunday, June 9 at 1:00pm and 5:00pm.

Boasting one of the greatest scores ever written, BABES IN ARMS is the quintessential backstage musical about a group of talented youngsters who defy the odds to successfully produce a show.

Featuring a hit parade of classic Rodgers and Hart songs including "My Funny Valentine," "Johnny One-Note," "Where Or When," "I Wish I Were in Love Again," "The Lady Is a Tramp," and more, BABES IN ARMS is a fun-filled tribute to everyone who has heeded the rallying cry "hey kids, let's put on a show!"

Featuring a cast of 16 young performers ages 7 to 11 from Riverdale, Yonkers, Upper Manhattan, and beyond, performances of BABES IN ARMS will be held at the Riverdale YM-YWHA, located at 5625 Arlington Avenue (just off of Riverdale Avenue and West 256th Street), in Riverdale, Bronx, NY.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for seniors and students if purchased online, or $22 for adults and $14 for seniors and students if purchased at the door prior to showtime.
