Created, written, hosted and directed by Scott Siegel for The Town Hall, the evening will continue Broadway By The Year’s 21st landmark season at The Town Hall (123 W. 43rd Street). This latest Broadway by the Year concert will highlight songs that leapt to fame from shows that never actually made it to Broadway. For the first time in its 21-year history, Broadway by the Year will venture outside the confines of Broadway to honor the brilliant songs born Off-Broadway in shows that played everywhere but Broadway. Just a small sampling of the famous Off-Broadway shows that will be celebrated with songs from their shows are Forever Plaid, Forbidden Broadway, Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, Beehive, The World Goes Round, The Last Five Years, Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, and, of course, The Fantasticks. Then there are the big shows that famously never made it to Broadway, like The Baker's Wife, Children of Eden, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame which will be represented as well. The cast of Broadway By The Year: Almost on Broadway includes: Christine Andreas (On Your Toes, Oklahoma!), Jason Graae (Forever Plaid, Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah), Ed Staudenmayer (Forbidden Broadway), Kelli Rabke (Joseph…; Children of Eden), Crystal Joy (Motown: The Musical), Brian Charles Rooney (The Threepenny Opera), Pedro Coppeti (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), and Danny Gardner (Flying Over Sunset; Dames At Sea). More performers will be announced in the coming weeks. “New York theater, and theater around the country, is so much more than just Broadway shows,” said Scott Siegel. “We look forward to spotlighting the shows that have enriched our musical theater lives without ever having been on the main stem. As always, as befits this legendary series, the concert will be brimming with comedy, drama, and dance.” “Broadway By The Year has been a staple of The Town Hall’s programming for over 20 years and we are excited that the series continues to evolve,” said The Town Hall’s Artistic Director Melay Araya. “We know our audience is in for a treat.” Tickets for Broadway By The Year are $57-$67.

MORE ABOUT TOWN HALL Town Hall has played an integral part in the electrifying cultural fabric of New York City for more than 100 years. A group of Suffragists' fight for the 19th Amendment led them to build a meeting space to educate people on the important issues of the day. During its construction, the 19th Amendment was passed, and on January 12, 1921 The Town Hall opened its doors and took on a double meaning: as a symbol of the victory sought by its founders, and as a spark for a new, more optimistic climate. In 1921, German composer Richard Strauss performed a series of concerts that cemented the Hall's reputation as an ideal venue for musical performances. Since, Town Hall has been home to countless musical milestones: The US debuts of Strauss, and Isaac Stern; Marian Anderson's first New York recital; in 1945, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker introduced bebop to the world; Bob Dylan's first major concert in '63; and much, much more. Town Hall is committed to providing healthy and safe facilities for audiences, performers, and staff. Based on CDC and state guidelines at the time of performance, protocols may include mask enforcement, increased cleaning and ventilation/filtration enhancements, vaccination or negative test verification, and more. These are subject to change. Ticket holders who do not comply with venue policies will not be admitted. |
