Butler, Michals, Abramovitz to Sing at First Broadway Jukebox February 8 at Birdland

This Sunday, February 8th, marks the beginning of an all-new revue dedicated to Broadway music. The show is called Broadway Jukebox, an ever-changing revue of Broadway music on Sunday nights at 6:30 PM that will feature a different trio of musical theater stars every week, each offering a brand new slate of songs. Further, in the spirit of the show's title, the audience will get to pick the Broadway songs they will hear each week!

Broadway stars are lining up to be part of this unique opportunity to sing the music of the Great White Way in the intimate setting of the legendary nightclub at 315 West 44th Street. The weekly series will begin with Tony nominee Kerry Butler (Xanadu, Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray), William Michals (currently standy for Emile de Beque in South Pacific, Beauty & the Beast, The Scarlet Pimpernel), and Jill Abramovitz (Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me). The previously announced Cheryl Freeman will perform March 1st. 

Broadway Jukebox will be directed by Scott Coulter, with musical direction by Tedd Firth. Broadway Jukebox is conceived and produced by Scott Siegel, who will also host this Sunday night revue. He is the creator/writer/host of a dozen different concerts every year at Town Hall, including Broadway by the Year, Broadway Unplugged, The Nightlife Awards, The Broadway Cabaret Festival, and The Summer Broadway Festival.

Music Charge: $35 & $25. Reservations for Broadway Jukebox, the musical revue that is new every week, can be made by calling Birdland at 212-581-3080. To check who is starring every week, check the Birdland website or go to SiegelPresents.com.
