Taking audiences from 1915 to 2014, this year the critically acclaimed Broadway by the Year Series has a new twist. Instead of four years in four shows, the 2014 season will bring 100 years of Broadway history in four incredible evenings, showcasing 100 Show Tunes from 100 Shows performed by 100 Broadway Stars. Each show will cover a quarter of a century of Broadway songs from shows including A Chorus Line, Annie Get Your Gun, Babes in Arms, Brigadoon, Cabaret, Candide, Dreamgirls, Follies, Funny Girl, Girl Crazy, Gypsy, Guys & Dolls, Into the Woods, La Cage Aux Folles, Lady Be Good, Kiss Me Kate and more!
Created/written/hosted by Scott Siegel, each evening will feature 25 stars singing and dancing through the history of the Great White Way; the third show will be on May 12, 2014 at 8pm (THE BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1965-1989); the fourth and final show of the series will be on June 23, 2014 at 8pm (THE BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1990-2014).
