set the scene for a great silent movie comedy featuring the

MELODY – The magic of Broadway” Mark Herman with
Anthony Snitker (USA)
 Back in 2006, at
19 years of age, Mark was the youngest organist to perform at the Hollywood
in recent years. Now in his early
twenties, he has received much acclaim with his work on the concert stage,
and it is a thrill to welcome him back to the Hollywood Cinema this
year. Joining Mark, also from the USA, is singer and dancer Anthony
Snitker – together they have made several appearances in concert to
rave reviews, and their show at the Hollywood Cinema will  showcase some of the hits from Broadway Stage shows over
the years.
