by Julie Musbach - Apr 1, 2017
Come and enjoy the music composed by the man every Broadway composer considered a giant. His hits on Broadway, in Hollywood, on radio, on television, in concert halls, and Youtube, will continue to entertain future generations in America and throughout the world.

From "Alexander's Ragtime Band" to "Always," and from "Blue Skies" to "What'll I Do?" Berlin dominated popular music with one enduring hit after another. His Broadway shows are legendary, including Annie Get Your Gun, Face the Music, and his incomparable Music Box Revues, which were performed in the Broadway theater that still bears the Music Box name. The award-winning 54 Sings series, aided and abetted by New York impresario Scott Siegel will entertain you to the hilt with Irving Berlin's sensational music, performed by a cast of today's great Broadway and nightclub stars.
