New York City Theater: BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1938

BROADWAY MUSICALS OF 1938 - MONDAY NIGHT

As always at Bway By the Year, it was a smart, well-produced production. Unlike Bway By the Year 1928 last month, which featured Bob Martin and was more about jam-packed entertainment, 1938 was more about highlighting well-made, rare songs by the greats, such as Porter, Weill, and Rodgers & Hart. From Shannon Lewis and Sarah Uriarte Berry to Aaron Lazar and Hugh Panaro, it was probably also the most good-looking ensemble cast I've ever seen grace the Town Hall stage.
