It\u2019s\u00a0Barry Manilow.\u201d Barry Manilow on my phone when I\u2019m sitting in my kitchen inhaling a tuna salad sandwich on raisin bread with mayo?<\/p>\n<p>Second voice: \u201cThis is\u00a0Bruce Sussman. I actually had dinner next to you recently in Fresco.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what? So have 90 other overeaters I don\u2019t know. Who are you?<\/p>\n<p>That voice says, \u201cBarry and I, lifetime friends, we created the new musical \u2018Harmony.\u2019 Just opened at National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene.\u201d A bell rang. It\u2019s a project I\u2019ve written about and known about forever.<\/p>\n<p>Barry: \u201cThis story we\u2019ve worked on for 100 years is about six young talented guys in 1920s Germany. Great harmonies, old-fashioned Marx Brothers type humor. But beneath the vaudeville razzmatazz is a tragic story. Nobody remembers them. Back then nobody ever heard of anyone. Finally, Bruce and I are at the finish line with this musical about them. It\u2019s \u2018Harmony.\u2019\u200a \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bruce: \u201cYears back, I saw an old dusty subtitled reel about them and was so excited seeing their story that \u2014 this is long before we had cellphones \u2014 I quick found a pay phone downtown on Lafayette Street, called Barry and said, \u2018Listen, we have to do this.\u2019\u200a\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Barry: \u201cHere\u2019s something you won\u2019t believe. The lead character, then in his 90s, lived \u2014 if you can believe this \u2014 right near me in Palm Springs. Who knew? I walked my dog directly in front of his house never knowing. Here I am writing a show about this man who lived exactly three blocks from me and who knew it. I\u2019m spending years creating songs about this aged character I didn\u2019t even know and never met. When I finally met him and stepped into his house I burst into tears. He\u2019s gone now. He was 98.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Bruce-Sussman.-.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Bruce Sussman and Barry Manilow started working on project about a band in 1920s that no one remembers.  \" class=\"wp-image-21935478\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Bruce-Sussman.-.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Bruce-Sussman.-.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Bruce-Sussman.-.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Bruce Sussman and Barry Manilow started working on project about a band in the 1920s that no one remembers.  <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jonathan Baskin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Part Two of the story.<\/p>\n<p>En-route to Wednesday\u2019s opening Barry Manilow was diagnosed with COVID.
