TICKETS + INFORMATION

A musical tribute to the famous February House, home to an improbable haute bohemian aggregation of artists and rakes in the early 1940s — and located a few blocks from this venue! So sure, you get some songs by Benjamin Britten, who lived in the February House. And you get some songs by Kurt Weill, who didn’t live there but who was close friends with the house’s organizer (who then married Lotte Lenya after Weill died). But couldn’t we have a few songs from Gypsy?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Even closer to the former site of the February House is so by far the best restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, Inga’s Bar.
