Offbeat Broadway

Some Broadway musicals that are not big hits still produce unforgettable music, delightful characters, and fascinating plots. This fun multimedia presentation will introduce you to wonderful Broadway that you probably don’t know!

After all, who would have guessed a musical about singing pussycats in a London alley would be an international mega-hit!?

Join Broadway historian Barry Bradford for a fun and insightful look at shows like Head Over Heels, Finian’s Rainbow, Call Me Madam, Xanadu. In the latter, a struggling artist in the 1970s prays for inspiration, and a muse rollerskates down from Mount Olympus to inspire him to open a roller disco!, sounds crazy, right? That’s why it’s off big! But the fantastic music, inventive staging, and choreography, delightful performances make this wacky story a crowdpleaser! So, while none of these musicals was a huge smash, each was delightful and important in its own way!
