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

The world of theater music is bedazzled with songs that leapt to fame from shows that never actually made it to Broadway. So, for the first time in its 21-year history, Broadway by the Year will venture outside the confines of The Great White Way to honor the brilliant songs born Off-Broadway and in shows that played everywhere but Broadway. Just a small sampling of Off-Broadway shows that launched famous songs includes Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, Bat Boy, Beehive and, of course, The Fantasticks. Then there are the shows that never made it to Broadway, like The Baker's Wife, Zorro, and The Witches of Eastwick. Come and enjoy a night of brilliant musical theater, filled with famous songs, from shows that were Almost on Broadway!
