Broadway Cabaret was founded by producer Randy Swartz in collaboration with Rittenhouse Grill's owner, Garth Weldon. Before launching this venture, Randy established himself as a cultural force in Philadelphia as Artistic Director of Dance Celebration and Next Move Dance, where he produced more than 2,500 performances at the Annenberg Center. Though he retired in 2020, his influential legacy in dance presentation continues through Penn Live Arts, which maintains his artistic traditions. Garth Weldon brings more than twenty-eight years of hospitality expertise to Broadway Cabaret as the owner of Rittenhouse Grill. With a passion for creating memorable dining experiences, Weldon has made the restaurant one of Philadelphia's premier fine dining destinations, known for its elegant atmosphere and exceptional service that perfectly complements the intimate performances of the cabaret series. The series originated in December of 2023 with Tony Yazbeck, Tony Award nominee for On the Town, tapping, singing, and storytelling to a sold-out audience. Since then, nine Broadway stars have performed at Rittenhouse Grill.

“The fall 2025 season at Broadway Cabaret represents everything we've aspired to create since launching this series – bringing Broadway's finest talent into an intimate setting where Philadelphia audiences can experience true cabaret artistry,” said Randy Swartz. "From Adam Pascal's rock sensibility to Christine Ebersole's unparalleled vocal elegance, each performer brings a unique perspective to their craft. What makes our cabaret series special is the rare opportunity for audiences to not only hear magnificent performances but to connect with these artists through personal stories and musical moments that simply can't be replicated in larger venues."

“I have always imagined that Rittenhouse Grill would be a haven of sophisticated dining and entertainment in Center City, and our partnership with Randy Swartz has allowed us to fulfill that vision in exceptional ways," said Garth Weldon. “Our guests consistently tell us how extraordinary it is to enjoy world-class cuisine and then, just steps away from their table, experience high caliber performances in our distinctive setting. The cabaret series is on its way to becoming a staple of Philadelphia's cultural landscape thanks to Randy’s hard work, and I couldn’t be more delighted that it’s happening at Rittenhouse Grill.”
