Broadway by the Year: The New Wave concert plays New York's Town Hall March 21. Created, written, hosted, and directed by Scott Siegel, the evening launches the series' 21st season.
The evening features the talents of Quentin Earl Darrington (MJ), Jenny Lee Stern (Rocky), Ben Jones, Jeanine Bruen, Adan Gallegos, Joe Iconis and Family (Be More Chill), Sara Neimietz (13 The Musical), Danny Gardner (Flying Over Sunset), and Gunhild Carling (The Wonder Woman of Jazz), along with The Broadway by the Year Chorus (led by Tyler McCall) and The Broadway by the Year Dance Troupe.
Broadway By the Year concerts open time capsules to some of the Great White Way's most memorable seasons and songs. This year’s concerts celebrate music, anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes stories on various themes, the first being the groundbreaking work of a fresh new crop of writers and the defining elements of our new, contemporary Broadway.
“We are thrilled with the wonderful lineup for our first Broadway By The Year,” said Siegel in an earlier statement. “Musical theatre is an ever-evolving art form and we look forward to showcasing the work that has pushed the boundaries on what Broadway shows were, to what Broadway shows have become.”
