Barry’s Best Of Broadway
July 16, 2018 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
As a professional cultural Historian (and a self-described Broadway fanatic) I have actually seen well over 200 performances on Broadway!
I truly love going to the theater in New York City! Accordingly, I make several trips a year to Manhattan just to see what’s new on Broadway! In my home, I host a Tony Awards Show party the way many men host a Super Bowl party! (I am not kidding – I cook for two days and we even get dressed up!)
Barry’s Best Of Broadway
I am so excited to offer an exciting new program featuring the stories and songs of some of my favorite Broadway musicals of all time. We will compare complementary shows from Broadway’s classic era (1943 – 1970) and Broadway’s modern era (1970 – 2018)
This allows to see how a classic like”The King And I” relates to a modern show like “Anastasia”
You will hear insider stories on each of the ten productions we will feature. In addition, I will talk about the cultural importance of the musical and, of course, let you see and hear performances of some of the greatest songs from Broadway. However, I have a very special feature that I am delighted to announce: we will have live renditions of some of the music!
Live Music
As a special treat – we will have live performances of some of the songs, performed by the amazing soloist Cameron Faith Baron. Those of you who have heard my presentation on “Hamilton” will remember Cameron Faith Baron as the absolutely amazing singer who brought down the house with her renditions of “Burn,” “Satisfied” and “That Would Be Enough.” Wait until you hear her sing gorgeous songs from shows like “She Loves Me” and Carole King’s Beautiful! You are in for a treat!
