Broadway By The Year - The 1930's

The Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036

Broadway by the Year, in its record-breaking 16th season at Town Hall, once again re-invents itself to bring a fresh and exciting new perspective to The Great White Way's classic show tunes. This season, series creator/writer/director/host Scott Siegel will use each of our four concerts to explore the ever-popular music that was born on Broadway in four different decades.

The first concert, on February 22, will explore the wildly inventive years of the 1930s as the world -- and Broadway -- coped with the Great Depression. This was also the decade when America's greatest composers were writing for the theater: Rodgers & Hart, Cole Porter, The Gershwins, Irving Berlin, and others. Their music will come alive again thanks to a small, incredibly starry cast that will include Tony Award Winner TONYA PINKINS, Tony Nominee EMILY SKINNER, NELLIE MCKAY, ROBERT CUCCIOLI, BILLY STRITCH, BRIAN CHARLES ROONEY, and more!
