BROADWAY BY THE BAY'S production of BROADWAY BY THE YEAR will feature the years of 1930 (Girl Crazy, Strike Up the Band ,The New Yorkers) and 1964 (Funny Girl, Hello Dolly, Fiddler on the Roof).

The cast for BROADWAY BY THE YEAR includes three-time Tony nominee Marc Kudisch (Thoroughly Modern Millie, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 9 to 5), two-time Tony nominee, Mary Testa (On the Town, 42nd Street, Chicago, Xanadu), Kerry O'Malley (Billy Elliot, White Christmas, Annie Get Your Gun, Into the Woods) and Noah Racey (Curtains, Never Gonna Dance, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Follies). The show is directed by Scott Coulter (Steven Schwartz and Friends) and will be narrated by Scott Siegel.

"After playing in New York City for over 10 years, we are thrilled that Broadway By the Year will make its West Coast premiere at Broadway By the Bay," said Artistic Director, Brooke Knight.
