We’ll celebrate both the big names and the underrated greats, offering a fresh look at what it takes to command a Broadway stage. Along the way, Barry shares personal encounters with several stars, offering touching glimpses of their humanity offstage.

Whether you’re a lifelong theater lover or new to the magic of musicals, this program promises laughter, inspiration, and perhaps a few surprises. You’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the performers who defied gravity, belted to the rafters, and left everything on the stage.
