A concert celebrating Broadway’s greatest musicals and the works that inspired them!Get ready for a night of pure Broadway magic!
“THEY MADE IT A MUSICAL!” pulls back the curtain on the Broadway shows you love, shining the spotlight on the plays, novels, works of art, short stories and historical events that inspired them!
From Romeo and Juliet sparking the idea for West Side Story, to Shaw’s Pygmalion laying the groundwork for My Fair Lady, the history of musical theater has always looked to adapt from the very best- and sometimes found inspiration in the most unlikely sources.
Join a cast of Broadway veterans backed by a live band as they take the Playhouse stage with songs and stories about the origins of Oklahoma!, Fiddler on the Roof, Titanic, Hamilton, and many more.
Whether you’re steeped in Broadway history or just love humming a good showtune, this concert will keep your toes tapping and your heart singing as we celebrate the remarkable stories behind the creation of your favorite musicals.
And who knows? You might even find the inspiration you need to write the next great musical!
