New York at 400: The Broadway View Cabaret will showcase the voices of Broadway stars Nancy Anderson, Joy Lynn Matthews, Howard McGillin, and Jim Stanek presenting an affectionate, sometimes satirical, celebration of the city's 400th birthday with songs by some of Broadway's best composers and songwriters, including Victor Herbert, Kurt Weill, the Gershwins, Charles Strouse, and Rodgers and Hart.

There is no doubt that Bye Bye Birdie is one of this season's most highly anticipated shows. With an all star cast that includes John Stamos and Gina Gershon, and the cache of being one of the most popular musicals of all time, critics and audience members alike are eager to see what this revival will bring--48 years after it last left Broadway. As the New York Times points out in a special Birdie feature today, the show is not an easy revival, and has had a string of productions starring major players (such as Tommy Tune and Ann Reinking in the 1991 road show) that received a lukewarm reception.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 14th, Bye Bye Birdie's John Stamos will appear on ABC's 'Rachael Ray Show.' Tune in to watch John's new dressing room get a makeover by designer Carter Oosterhouse.
