Spectacular New Highlights Reel Celebrating Roundabout Theatre Company

Relive all the many Roundabout highlights!

The brand new Broadway revival of ON THE 20TH CENTURY starring Kristin Chenoweth and Peter Gallagher opened recently to rave reviews and a new highlights video titled "The Great American Musical" showcasing all the most notable musical productions presented by Roundabout Theatre Company since its inception is now available to view.

The new video is described as such: "Musicals have been an important component of Roundabout's programming since 1992, leading to the production of 23 award-winning musical revivals and resulting in: 5 Best Musical Revival Tony Awards and over 30 additional Tony nominations and awards. Whether giving new life to often forgotten musicals or bringing beloved classics back to the stage, we have concentrated on works that normally wouldn't be produced commercially such as our very first musical, She Loves Me. Our dedication to this great American art form and reputation for staging quality productions has not only allowed new generations to see these musical gems, but has also launched the careers of some of the most remarkable new talents in theatre, including Alan Cumming, Scott Ellis, Neil Patrick Harris, Rob Marshall, Sam Mendes, Kelli O'Hara and others. Roundabout is the only not-for-profit theatre company dedicated to producing a full-scale musical each year on Broadway and remains a leader in the genre-single-handedly producing almost one-third of all musical revivals in the last several years."

The official description of ON THE 20TH CENTURY is as follows: "It's nonstop laughs aboard the Twentieth Century, a luxury train travelling from Chicago to New York City. Luck, love and mischief collide when the bankrupt theater producer Oscar Jaffee (Golden Globe® winner Peter Gallagher) embarks on a madcap mission to cajole glamorous Hollywood starlet Lily Garland (Emmy® and Tony Award® winner Kristin Chenoweth) into playing the lead in his new, non-existent epic drama. But is the train ride long enough to reignite the spark between these former lovers, create a play from scratch, and find the money to get it all the way to Broadway? On the Twentieth Century is the hilarious Tony-winning musical comedy from the creators of Sweet Charity (composer Cy Coleman), Singin' in the Rain (lyricist-librettists Betty Comden and Adolph Green), After Midnight (Tony-winning choreographer Warren Carlyle) and You Can't Take It With You, Elephant Man (Tony-nominated director Scott Ellis), back in the spotlight nearly 40 years after making its Broadway debut. Grab your ticket and hop onboard this fun-filled musical journey to The Great White Way!"
