Burt Bacharach’s songbook is given a new interpretation with Kyle Riabko’s original musical arrangement. This 90 minute show will be directed by Olivier Award-winner Steven Hoggett and is a non-stop musical journey which Riabko leads a group of six young performers through Bacharach’s classic melodies including "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head", "Alfie", "I Say a Little Prayer", "Close to You", "The Look of Love" and "Magic Moments".
This production, conceived by Kyle Riabko and David Lane Seltzer, previously played to critical acclaim at New York Theatre Workshop, where it became the venue’s longest-running show.
After being introduced to Bacharach at a Los Angeles recording studio, Riabko created a series of demos, reinterpreting the composer’s classic songs. Over the ensuing months, he took the demos to Bacharach who gave his blessing to What’s It All About? Bacharach Reimagined. After seeing the show, Bacharach said it felt as though he had received “a love letter” and commented: “Kyle has done something truly unique with my music.”
