"Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway is top notch and has been a fan favorite in Queens for seven years," said Jeff Rosenstock who first brought Neil Berg's 100 YEARS OF BROADWAY here. "Neil and his cast make every song a showstopper. No matter how many times you see this show, you leave the theater wanting more."

"Ever since Jeff Rosenstock introduced my show to Queens it has been an ongoing love affair between my show and the audiences here who have treated us so well over the years. We are excited to support Jeff at the Kupferberg Center for the Performing Arts and hope you will join us on April 14th for this exclusive performance," invites Neil.
