THE
TOWN HALL GIVES ITS REGARDS TO BROADWAY
"The Broadway Musicals of 1957"
Celebrates
One Spectacular Year on The Great White Way
with Alix Korey, Eric Michael Gillett, Adriane Lenox and Special Guest
Star Jay Rogers
After enjoying
the success of its highly acclaimed look at the Broadway musicals
of 1943, The Town Hall is revisiting another phenomenal year on
The Great White Way: 1957.
"The Broadway
Musicals of 1957", on Monday, April 16th, 8:00 pm, will celebrate
songs from shows ranging from the popular "West Side Story" and "The
Music Man" to such other delights as "New Girl in Town," "Jamaica,"
"Copper & Brass" and "Shinbone Alley." This show will feature Alix
Korey ("Suburb," Drama Desk nominee for MTC's "The Wild Party"),
Adriane Lenox ("Kiss Me Kate," Obie Award for "Dinah Was"), Eric
Michael Gillett (MAC Award winner for Best Male Vocalist, "Kiss
Me Kate") and Jay Rogers (Drama Desk nominee for "When Pigs
Fly").
This
exciting program not only includes famous showstopping numbers, it
also features rediscovered gems and offers an entertaining verbal
account of Broadway's history circa 1957. The show will be directed
by Eric Michael Gillett, with musical direction by D. Jay Bradley.
The "Broadway Musicals of 1957" will be written, produced and hosted
by New York author/critic Scott Siegel, who, last month, also
presented "The Broadway Musicals of 1943."
About the
"1943" show, Robert Daniels of Variety wrote: "Plaudits are
in order for Siegel for what promises to be an enriching musical travelogue."
Donald
Lyons of The New York Post agreed, saying: "The evening as a whole
was comprehensive and enjoyable, offering an unusual angle on the
riches of our past."
David Hurst
of Show Business Weekly cheered: "The evening was an entertaining
sojourn back in time."
Brandon
Judell of NY Theatre Wire raved: "The Broadway Musicals of 1943
attracted over 1000 Broadway-philes and was a smash ... the next evening
is on April 16 and it will highlight 1957. If that doesn't ring any
bells, I'm sure "West Side Story," "The Music Man" and "New Girl in
Town" will. Don't miss it if you love being hit over the head with
talent and song."

this program are $35.00 and $30.00 and can be purchased at the Town
Hall Box Office, 123 West 43rd Street, 212-840-2824, or through TicketMaster,
