Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway is back!!!
This volume in the series is a celebration of composer Charles Strouse (1928-2025) one of Broadway’s most prolific artists. For every work of his that got to Broadway, there were three or four that were Broadway Bound.This edition will celebrate the wonderful melodies Charles created for shows that were slated for Broadway but never arrived, including Annie 2, Minsky’s, Bojangles, and many more!
Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway offers a behind the scenes look at those Strouse musicals that were supposed to come to Broadway but never did…told by the actors, lyricists, and directors who were there!
The concert will be co-hosted by the host of the podcast Behind The Curtain: Broadway’s Living Legends Robert W. Schneider and Backstage Babble’s Charles Kirsch, and music directed by Michael Lavine.
