Join Jack Viertel, former artistic director of City Centers’ Encores!, for an unforgettable evening celebrating the musicals that are featured in his critically acclaimed new novel, Broadway Melody.

Broadway Melody is a love letter to both the Golden Age of the American musical and a bygone era of the city that never sleeps, all seen through the eyes of a lovelorn trumpet player and an actress on the cusp of her big break.

Take a trip back in time to see a legendary list of Broadway’s greatest performers as they come together to celebrate one last great Broadway Melody.

Produced and directed by Robert W. Schneider.
