Jim Walton is best known to audiences for his portrayal of Franklin Shepherd in the 1981 Stephen Sondheim musical Merrily We Roll Along.

Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came To Broadway celebrates musicals that were slated to appear on the Great White Way but never arrived. Whether it was due to lack of funding, temperamental creatives, or just being a victim of time, these musicals will be dusted off and their songs brought to their first New York audience.

"There are so many worthwhile musicals that have closed on the road to Broadway, and I'm thrilled to be celebrating them with this team, in such a fun concert! We have fascinating facts about theatre history, original cast members, and songs that are gems you've never heard before. I'm particularly excited to feature How Do You Do I Love You with original cast member Loni Ackerman- it has a bouncy and delightful score by Richard Maltby Jr. and David Shire, and was a 1967 musical about computer dating!" said Tepper in a statement.

Schneider added, ""On my podcast, Behind The Curtain: Broadway's Living Legends, I have been so surprised that the shows my guests spoke of most fondly were the ones that never made it to Broadway, that New York audiences never got to see their best work. I thought it was about time we corrected that. Plus, the backstage stories on all of these shows are so fabulous!"

The first edition of Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came To Broadway will feature songs from such musicals as All About Us, The Baker's Wife, Captain America, How Do You Do I Love You, Mata Hari, Nerds, Pleasures and Palaces, Prettybelle, Rebecca, The Rhythm Club, Softly, and more.

Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came To Broadway will be music directed by Joshua Zecher Ross with Andrew Garrett Karl serving as projections designer.

Tickets, starting at $35, are still available. In addition to the ticket price, there is food and beverage minimum of $25.00 Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came To Broadway tickets can be purchased at 54Below.com.
