Georgia Southern University Performing Arts Center Presents Broadway Musical Revue

September 1, 2011

Georgia Southern University’s Performing Arts Center (PAC) will host a performance of Neil Berg’s “100 Years of Broadway,” a musical revue of Broadway’s most celebrated shows at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 9. During the show, a cast of five Broadway stars will be accompanied by an all-star New York band.

“‘100 Years of Broadway’ has some of the most talented performers from the stage today,” said Performing Arts Center Director Carol Thompson. “We are thrilled to host this performance, and it gives our community the opportunity to experience the highlights of several different Broadway shows in one evening,” she said.

“100 Years of Broadway” recreates the greatest moments from both classic and new hit shows featuring the actual stars from “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables,” “CATS,” “Black & Blue” and “Jekyll & Hyde.” “100 Years of Broadway” is the most successful touring Broadway concert in North America, visiting more than 60 cities a year.

Berg is the composer/lyricist of musicals such as “The Prince and the Pauper” and “Grumpy Old Men,” and two of his musicals have been selected for the prestigious New York Musical Theatre Festival. The production also features performers Chuck Wagner (“Les Miserables,” “Jekyll & Hyde”), Sandra Joseph (“The Phantom of the Opera”), Carter Calvert (“CATS”), Ron Bohmer (“The Phantom of the Opera”) and Ted Lewis Levy (“Black and Blue”).

Tickets are $30 for adults and $10 for Georgia Southern University students and may be purchased at the Performing Arts Center box office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, or by calling 912-478-7999.
