Barry’s Broadway Blockbusters Part I
January 22, 2025 @ 1:00 PM - 2:30 PM
I am so excited about this program! Barry’s Broadway blockbuster, part one, will examine some of the show-stopping moments on Broadway in the last 25 years.
In this exciting brand-new program, cultural historian and Broadway maven Barry Bradford presents some of the show-stopping musical numbers from Broadway’s best shows of the last 25 years. We will learn the stories behind the songs and productions and see amazing performances from shows that may include Waitress, Some Like It Hot, Come from Away, and the revivals of Oklahoma, South Pacific, and Carousel.
This exciting multimedia program is pure entertainment! If you love great music and choreography, you don’t want to miss it!
For each song, we will get a brief introduction to the show and the composer/lyricist, the background of the music, and how it fits into the narrative. Then, we will watch some of Broadway’s most fantastic performers—knocking phenomenal musical numbers out of the park.
If you wish to attend, please call our great friends at the Northbrook Senior Center for registration information! I promise you’ll love this program!
