MONDAY NIGHT - BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1928

I highly recommend checking this out tonight if you're free.

Tony winner Bob Martin, currently featured as ‘Man in Chair’ in THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, will star in THE BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1928, which kicks off the seventh season of The Town Hall’s acclaimed Broadway by the Year series. Broadway aficionados will recall that the fictional, Tony-nominated show opened on The Great White Way in 1928. On February 26th The Town Hall audience will hear the music that was born on Broadway in that illustrious year.

Some of musical theater’s most famous songs first came to light in 1928, such as Rodgers & Hart’s “You Took Advantage of Me” (Present Arms), the Dorothy Fields/Jimmy McHugh hit “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love” (Blackbirds of 1928), Cole Porter’s “Let’s Do It” (Paris), Kalmar & Ruby’s “Hooray for Captain Spaulding” (Animal Crackers), Romberg/Hammerstein’s “Softly as in a Morning Sunrise” (The New Moon) and so many more!

Conceived and hosted by Scott Siegel for The Town Hall, this one-night-only concert will feature a dazzling line-up including Broadway’s Nancy Anderson, Joyce Chittick, Jeffry Denman, Malcolm Gets, Eddie Korbich, Lari White, plus more stars soon to be announced. The cast is heavily honored with a Tony winner (Bob Martin), a Tony nominee (Malcolm Gets), Drama Desk nominees (Nancy Anderson and Eddie Korbich) and even a Grammy Award winner (Lari White). Direction will be by Joel Froomkin and the evening will feature musical direction by Ross Patterson.
