Majestic Theater Marks 90th Anniversary with Neil Berg's 100 YEARS OF BROADWAY Tonight

Tonight, November 14, 2015 at 8:00 p.m., the Majestic Theater will celebrate its 90th Anniversary with Neil Berg's widely acclaimed 100 YEARS OF BROADWAY, a musical revue of Broadway's most celebrated shows featuring a dazzling cast of five Broadway stars accompanied by an all-star New York band.

100 YEARS OF BROADWAY recreates the greatest moments from the finest shows of the century featuring the actual stars of shows such as THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, LES MISERABLES, CATS, JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, and JEKYLL & HYDE. These amazing performers light up the stage with songs from the hit shows in which they starred as well as thrilling numbers from Broadway's newest hit shows.

NEIL BERG is the composer/lyricist of the hit off-Broadway musical THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER, which ran for two years at the Lamb's Theater in New York City and will act as MC for the show. Berg is currently writing the music for the Broadway bound musical GRUMPY OLD MEN, based on the hit film. Two of Berg's new musicals have been selected for the prestigious New York Musical Theater Festival: THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, a musical realization of Rudyard Kipling's novella, and TIM AND SCROOGE, the sequel to A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

100 YEARS OF BROADWAY features 5 brilliant Broadway stars. Craig Schulman, has portrayed three of the greatest musical theatre roles: the Phantom in Andrew Lloyd Webber's THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, Jean Valjean in LES MISERABLES; and the title roles in JEKYLL & HYDE.
