Broadway by the Year, now in its 16th season at The Town Hall, once again re-invents itself to bring a fresh and exciting new perspective to The Great White Way's classic show tunes.

Brian Zoldessy, one of the area's most awarded actors, seems to be making a career of bringing real people to life. He was Ned Weeks, the AIDS activist in Ensemble's THE NORMAL HEART, Sigmund Freud, the recognized father of Psychoanalysis in Actors' Summit's FREUD'S LAST SESSION, and now he's reincarnating the renowned physicist, Albert Einstein. He won both Cleveland Critics Circle and Times Tribute Theatre awards for the former two roles, and the odds are he'll be receiving similar recognition for his most recent portrayal.
The future of the Great White Way was featured in one unforgettable night with the brightest talent selected from some of the nation's finest theatrical institutions: AMDA, University of Cincinnati, Circle in the Square, Marymount, The New School, NYU's Cap 21, Steinhardt, and Tisch, and Pace University. The event was directed by Nightlife Award winning vocalist Scott Coulter. BroadwayWorld brings you complete photo coverage below!
