Big Band YearsBROADWAY! THE BIG BAND YEARS

Broadway generated a staggering number of hit songs during the Big Band Era of the ‘30s, ‘40s and early ‘50s. Widely popularized by recording and performing artists, on radio and television, and in dance halls across the country, these songs became part of the Big Band Songbook. Columbia Artists has teamed up with veteran Broadway conductor Keith Levenson to capture and celebrate this vast contribution by Broadway composers and lyricists during the Big Band Era. The production will feature Alfred Boe (who won rave reviews in Baz Luhrman’s La Boheme) and Robin Skye (from the Broadway productions of Parade and Cyrano the Musical) – two exciting young Broadway talents – with Artistic Director Keith Levenson (Annie, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Dreamgirls) conducting The Curtain Up Orchestra.
