Peter Filichia & Friends: Broadway Tales and Tunes, feat. Judy Kaye, Dick Scanlan, & more!

March 2, 2026

Peter Filichia has seen more than 13,000 live stage shows. That’s not a typo: 13,000 and counting. Needless to say, when you’ve seen that many, you have plenty of memories of the very good, the very bad, and the mighty ugly. In Broadway Tales and Tunes, Filichia centers on the musicals he’s seen from A (Ari, the musical version of Exodus) to Z (The Zulu and the Zayda), and gets by with more than a little help from his talented friends who’ll sing songs from these hits and flops.

Called the “Ultimate Broadway Insider,” Peter Filichia has seen over 13,000 shows in 47 states and 17 foreign countries, appears on the “Broadway Radio” podcast and has a weekly column for Masterworks Broadway. He wrote a regular column, “Peter Filichia’s Diary,” for Playbill and TheaterMania for many years and is also the author of several books, including Let’s Put on a Musical!: How to Choose the Right Show for Your School, Community or Professional Theater and Broadway Musicals: the Biggest Hit and the Biggest Flop of the Season, 1959 to 2009. In addition, he served four terms as president and chairman of the nominating committee of the Drama Desk Awards.

Music direction by Michael Lavine.
