As part of the season-long tribute to Leonard Bernstein, the Boston Pops presents a semi-staged performance of the composer’s 1945 musical romance On the Town on May 31 and June 1. Keith Lockhart leads the performance with Tony Award-winning Broadway director and choreographer Kathleen Marshall at the helm of the stage presentation, which will feature a cast of Broadway singers and dancers. Longtime Boston Pops arranger David Chase—known for his wildly popular arrangement of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”—also lends a hand as music director for the program. On the Town was an offshoot of Bernstein’s collaboration with choreographer Jerome Robbins on the 1944 ballet Fancy Free, for which Bernstein also wrote the music. The musical, which features such instantly recognizable songs as “New York, New York” follows the whirlwind romances of three sailors and their respective love interests over the sailors 24-hour shore leave in New York City.
