After the first two all-star, critically acclaimed, sold out concerts
at THE TOWN HALL (123 West 43rd Street, NYC - 212-997-1929 -
http://www.the-townhall-nyc.org/
), Broadway by the Year continues its year of unparalleled excellence
by announcing just some of the stars that have committed to performing
in the last two concerts of the season. Making their Broadway by the
Year debuts in concerts on either May 12th or June 16th are Brian
d'Arcy James, Mandy Gonzalez, Alice Ripley, Jeff McCarthy, Lorin Latarro,
and Terri Klausner. Now in its eighth season, Broadway By The Year
is created, written and hosted by Scott Siegel.
The Broadway Musicals of 1965 on Monday, May 12th
matches an extraordinary cast with one of the greatest years in
the history of the Great White Way that will feature a concert of
virtually non-stop Broadway classics. Performing great songs like
"Why Did I Choose You?" "She Touched Me," Who Can I Turn to?" "The
Impossible Dream," and about twenty more of the same caliber will
be a stunning cast that will include the future star of Shrek on
Broadway, Brian d'Arcy James, four time Tony Nominee Gregg Edelman,
two time Tony nominee Marc Kudisch, the bright young star of In
the Heights, Mandy Gonzalez, the recent star of Wicked, Julia Murney,
and the great dancing of Kendrick Jones, Shannon Lewis, Melinda
Sullivan, and Lorin Latarro (who will also choreograph and stage
the concert).
The Broadway Musicals of 1979 will follow on Monday,
June 16th with one of the most provocative casts ever assembled
for a Broadway by the Year concert. Three of the four leads from
the cult favorite musical, Side Show, will be in the concert including
its two Tony nominated stars, Alice Ripley and Emily Skinner (the
latter also directing the show). They will be joined by the magnetic
Jeff McCarthy (currently Billy Flynn in Chicago) who is also famous
as Officer Lockstock in Urinetown. Noah Racey will provide the exciting
dance, while Terri Klausner will remind audiences why she was hired
to play Eva Peron twice a week in the original cast of Evita.
