The Town Hall's critically acclaimed Broadway by the Year's®10th Anniversary Season presents The Broadway Musicals of 1966, a year that brought us iconic shows such as, Cabaret, Mame, I Do! I Do!, Sweet Charity and The Apple Tree. Overflowing with famous songs from major hit shows, the evening features more dance numbers than any other Town Hall Broadway by the Year® concert this season. The evening is directed, choreographed and stars Jeffry Denman (who will be going to Broadway next season with this year's Off-Broadway hit musical, Yank!, which he also choreographed). He will be joined on stage by some of New York's best singer/dancers, including Meredith Patterson (White Christmas) and Shonn Wiley (Drama Desk Nominee for My Vaudeville Man), as well as two singer/dancer talents new to Broadway by the Year®, Jenn Rias and Elizabeth Clinard. Vocalists in the show will also include Tony Award nominees Liz Callaway, (Baby) Bob Stillman (Grey Gardens) the legendary star of Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway, Robert Cuccioli and Kerry O'Malley (White Christmas). Sara Gettelfinger (Nine) and Michele Ragusa (Young Frankenstein) will also star.
Tickets are $50 & $45 and are on sale through TicketMaster, 212-307-4100, www.ticketmaster.com, or The Town Hall Box Office between noon and 6 PM (except Sundays) at 123 West 43rd Street, 800/982-2787
"This season has been remarkable," said Scott Siegel, the creator/writer/host of Town Hall's Broadway by the Year®. "And I only see it getting more and more exciting. The Town Hall shows have a reputation for being fast-paced and full of great energy and the upcoming 1966 concert should make that point loud and clear with some of the finest Broadway dancers an audience will see on any Broadway stage. Jeffry Denman has choreographed and directed some of our most memorable Broadway by the Year® concerts in the last few years and I'm sure this new show on May 10 will be no different. I think the show is going to be great fun."
