"Broadway Songbook: The First 100 Years of Broadway" runs tonight, August 7, through the 10th at The Ordway in St. Paul.

From the early years to the Golden Age, this show has something for everyone.

The Broadway Songbook series brings fresh insight, energy and joy to the songs you love, making every show a warm, humorous and moving portrait of musical theater legends. Conceived and directed by the Ordway's Vice President of Theatrical Programming and Producing Artistic Director, James A. Rocco, each Broadway Songbook program features a dynamic mix of composer life stories, discussion of what made their work so extraordinary, and performances by an ensemble of renowned artists from the Twin Cities musical theater, jazz and cabaret scenes.
