Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway is back!!!

Broadway Bound: The Musicals That Never Came to Broadway offers a behind the scenes look at the musicals that were supposed to come to Broadway but never did…told by the actors, writers, and directors who were there!

From producers with no money, to actors who wouldn’t go on, to shows that were way ahead of their time, Broadway Bound will introduce New York audiences to the shows that were supposed to find a home on the Great White Way, all sung by an all star Broadway cast.

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.

There could still be a chance for some of the stalled musicals to make their way to the Broadway stage – especially if they were to cast these top-notch artists.

DC Theater Arts

The might trinity is at it again…Who else but producer Rob Schneider, musical director and sheet music maven Michael Lavine, and their talented and charming protege, the far-too-young-to-be-so-smart Charles Kirsch could put together such an evening?
