Broadway Originals at Town Hall 10/21 with More Stars!
Relive American Musical Theatre history with performances from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Mr. President, Miss Saigon, The Wiz, The Producers, and the stars that created them in "Broadway Originals" on Sunday, October 21 at 3pm, as part of The Town Hall's Third Annual Broadway Cabaret Festival.
"Broadway Originals" features musical direction by Fred Barton and direction by Dan Foster.
Spend a Sunday afternoon with Broadway songs and memories featuring a dazzling array of Broadway performers led by Special Guest Celeste Holme (Oklahoma!), Susan Bigelow (Working), Alan Campbell (Sunset Boulevard), Donna Lynne Champlin (Sweeney Todd), Catherine Cox (Baby), Andre De Shields (The Wiz), Jerry Dixon (Once on This Island), Willy Falk (Miss Saigon), Anita Gillette (Mr. President), George S. Irving (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes), Karen Mason (Mamma Mia!), David Miller (Baz Luhrman's La Boheme), Jill O'Hara (Promises, Promises), Brad Oscar (The Producers), Martin Vidnovic (Brigadoon), Ken Jennings (Sweeney Todd), and Barbara Walsh (Big), reprising songs they introduced either in original Broadway productions or Broadway revivals.
Witness the performances – and the performers – that have lit up Broadway these past 64 years! This is your chance to experience the performances that the original audiences saw: or if you were lucky enough to see them the first time, your chance to relive them.
