"I am very proud to announce our new season for 2010," artistic and executive director Lawrence Zucker said in a released statement. "I am also thrilled to be celebrating Broadway by the Year’s 10th anniversary with four great concerts culminating in a celebration of the last 20 years of Broadway music."
The series — created, written and hosted by Scott Siegel — focuses on the shows that appeared on Broadway in one specific year. The four concerts will feature the works of 1927, 1948 and 1966. For the final concert (1990-2010), an all-star cast will perform one song from each of the last 21 years of Broadway history.
Here are some 2010 events of note to theatre folk:
(with songs from Show Boat, Rio Rita, Hit the Deck!, Ziegfeld Follies of 1927, Good News and more)
(with songs from Kiss Me, Kate; Love Life; Where's Charley?' My Romance' Lend an Ear; and more)
(with songs from Sweet Charity, Mame, Cabaret, I Do! I Do!, The Apple Tree and more)
(with songs from Aspects of Love, Falsettos, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Ragtime, Wicked, Jersey Boys and many more)
Tickets for the 2010 season at Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, go on sale through the box office and Ticketmaster Dec. 1. (They are currently available through mail order only.) For more information, visit the-townhall-nyc.org.
