BROADWAY by HEART

BROADWAY BY HEART

Some Broadway songs entertain us. Others somehow become part of us.

PS UNDERGROUND welcomes acclaimed Broadway and cabaret artist Phillip Officer for an intimate journey through the music of Broadway. Not simply a collection of show tunes, but an evening devoted to the words, stories and emotions that have made these songs endure.

A veteran of the Broadway stage who originated a role in the original production of Side Show, Phillip has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall and New York's legendary Oak Room at the Algonquin to Birdland and some of the country's most celebrated cabaret stages. Known for his remarkable ability to get inside a lyric, Phillip approaches a song as a storyteller, finding humor, longing, heartbreak and sometimes an entirely new meaning hiding inside words we thought we already knew.

BROADWAY BY HEART travels through generations of musical theatre, from the great songwriters who defined Broadway to the composers who reinvented it. Familiar favorites mingle with unexpected discoveries as Phillip shares the stories behind the music and his own connection to the songs along the way.

Chef David Horgen creates a menu inspired by the evening, revealed one course at a time, as Phillip returns throughout dinner to continue the story.
