Thank You Tom Lehrer

0 upcoming performances in New York

At City Winery NYC, “Thank You Tom Lehrer” frames Lehrer’s sharp, melody-driven satire in a live pop/rock concert setting. Bobby Underwood and Zalmen Mlotek lead a program that treats Lehrer not just as a songwriter but as a record of Cold War-era anxieties, classroom humor, and American political speech. In New York, where cabaret and musical comedy have long shared DNA, this material reads as part of the city’s ongoing conversation about wit as critique. The songs still land because the jokes are built on structure, not volume.
