Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway celebrates the shows that were slated to appear on the Great Bright Way but never arrived.

Schneider and host of the podcast Backstage Babble, Charles Kirsch, will emcee the evening, introducing performances and anecdotes from some of the show's original cast and creators. Frederick Miller is the dramaturg and Michael Lavine will be the music director.
The third edition of Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway will feature songs from such lost musicals as Arthur: The Musical, The Country Wife, Daddy Goodness, Goodbye to Berlin, Home Again, Home Again, The Graduate, and many more.
A portion of the evening's proceeds will be donated to the Dramatists Guild.
