In The Park with choreography by Chase Brock of Broadway's hit Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, and story and music by Karen LeFrak paired with the perennial favorite Russian folk tale, The Firebird today, February 23 and tomorrow, the 24th.

From socialite sea lions to superhero squirrels, this is truly a treat that you won't want to miss.

The Firebird NYTB brings back its critically acclaimed version based on the Russian Folk Tale of a magical bird. Choreographed by Richard Holden with brilliant costumes by Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan.
