Ticket sales have soared and stellar reviews have included The New York Times, which calls it, "Witty, breezily paced ... informative ... valuable ... the right perspective of lighthearted nostalgia ... a reasonably priced alternative to City Center's Encore Series." Author/critic SCOTT SIEGEL created the series for The Town Hall, which he writes and hosts. Siegel takes audiences of all ages on a musical tour of the Great White Way, offering an entertaining verbal account of Broadway's history. Each evening celebrates the songs from Broadway shows of a selected year, sung by a cast of talented cabaret and Broadway performers. This marvelous program not only highlights favorite show-stopping numbers, it also features lesser-known gems. Broadway by the Year's fifteenth season will bring 100 years of Broadway history in four incredible evenings. Each show will cover a quarter of a century of Broadway tunes from shows including A Chorus Line, Annie Get Your Gun, Babes in Arms, Brigadoon, Cabaret, Candide, Dreamgirls, Follies, Funny Girl, Girl Crazy, Gypsy, Guys & Dolls, Into the Woods, La Cage Aux Folles, Lady Be Good, Kiss Me Kate, and more! Siegel will be joined on stage by Tony nominees and winners in addition to surprise special guest stars throughout the season.

About Town Hall: For more than 90 years, The Town Hall has played a pivotal role in the cultural and political history of New York City. The Hall was founded in 1921 by a vibrant group of suffragists whose ultimately successful fight for the ratification of the 19th Amendment led them to coordinate the purchase and building of a meeting space with the intent of engaging and educating the public on important social issues of the day. Town Hall was designed to reflect the democratic principles of the nation; box seating was eliminated and the layout of the orchestra and balcony insured every seat had an unobstructed view of the stage. Indeed, the maxim "not a bad seat in the house" was coined in direct reference to Town Hall's still-unchanged-to-this-day layout. In its first several decades, Town Hall was host to historic programs and debuts featuring Marian Anderson, Paul Robeson, Margaret Sanger, Andres Segovia, Pablo Casals, Sergei Rachmaninov, Eleanor Roosevelt, Isaac Stern, Langston Hughes, Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, Nina Simone, Igor Stravinsky, Louis Armstrong and countless more legends and icons. In addition, the Hall provided a forum for over two decades to the immensely influential America's Town Meeting of the Air, a national weekly radio forum for progressive political discussion. In more recent years, Town Hall has hosted performances and talks from His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Ravi Shankar, Robin Williams, Depak Chopra, Marianne Faithful, Cyndi Lauper, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Rufus Wainwright, Elvis Costello, Eric Idle, Nick Cave, Philip Glass, Hillary Clinton, Steve Martin, Meredith Monk, Wayne Shorter, Joan Baez, Barack Obama and literally hundreds more artists and luminaries in every genre and field imaginable. The Town Hall remains at the forefront of New York City's most prestigious venues, offering an ongoing selection of daring and high-quality programming with a distinctly populist edge. Town Hall was registered as a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2013 and operates as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
