The evening boasted the talents of director Scott Coulter as well as Emily Skinner, Noah Racey, Cheyenne Jackson, Kendrick Jones, Sierra Boggess, Sean Palmer, Harvey Evans, Tony Award winner Debbie Gravitte, Natalie Venetia Belcon and Mark Price

The song list was culled from various musicals that debuted on Broadway in the 1954 season, including The Pajama Game, Peter Pan, The Boy Friend, Fanny, The Golden Apple and House of Flowers.

A few highlights from the event included Harvey Evans and Debbie Gravitte teaming up for "It's Never Too Late to Fall in Love," Sean Palmer's unamplified version of the title song from Fanny, Cheyenne Jackson (with assistance from Sierra Boggess) performing "There Once Was a Man" and Emily Skinner sweetly crooning "Distant Melody" from Peter Pan. The evening closed with the entire cast taking to the stage for "Never Never Land."

Broadway By the Year will continue May 12 with The Broadway Musicals of 1965 and June 16 with The Broadway Musicals of 1979.
