BEAVER CREEK — Following the enthusiastic response to last season’s hit Broadway review Neil Berg’s “100 Years of Broadway,” Berg now brings his all-new production, “101 Years of Broadway,” to Beaver Creek. The new show is filled with more of the greatest songs of Broadway. This return engagement features a cast of five Broadway stars accompanied by an all-star New York band. It’s coming to the Vilar Performing Arts Center on Monday at 7:30 p.m.

“101 Years of Broadway” recreates the moments from the finest shows of the century featuring the actual stars of shows such as “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Miserables,” “Evita,” “CATS,” “Wonderful Town,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” These performers light up the stage with songs from the hit shows in which they starred. Berg presents revived arrangements of Broadway classics as well as songs from Broadway’s newest hit shows.

Along with musical director and pianist Neil Berg, the Vilar Center performance will feature Carter Calvert, Jeannette Bayardelle, Lawrence Clayton, Richard Todd Adams and Danny Zolli.



Berg is the composer and lyricist of the hit off-Broadway musical “The Prince and the Pauper,” which ran for two years at the Lamb’s Theater in New York City. Berg is currently writing the music for the Broadway bound musical “Grumpy Old Men,” based on the hit film. Two of Berg’s new musicals have been selected for the prestigious New York Musical Theater Festival: “The Man Who Would Be King,” a musical realization of Rudyard Kipling’s novella, and “Tim and Scrooge,” the sequel to “A Christmas Carol.”
