“They say the neon lights are bright” and “magic will be in the air” in the singing and dancing extravaganza On Broadway! Paying tribute to Broadway’s best in a grand display of show-stopping moments, this performance showcases some of the most popular songs of the Great White Way -- from early Broadway shows up to recent productions.

Accompanied by live musicians, the eight-member cast of this sparkling, fast-paced revue presents delightful memories in song and dance. On Broadway! will take center stage at The Paramount on Sunday, April 13 with a special 4 pm show time.

Special Media Sponsor for this event is News Talk 1260 AM WCHV.

With dazzling choreography, dynamic music arrangements, and a virtual parade of costumes filling the set’s “Grand Staircase,” On Broadway! features a colorful stage and high-energy performances.

The show honors early Broadway with favorite moments of song and dance from musicals including A Chorus Line, Guys and Dolls, 42nd Street, West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Oklahoma, and Annie Get Your Gun

Today’s popular shows have their moments in the spotlight as well, with selections from Wicked, Mamma Mia, Beauty and the Beast, Hairspray, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Cats, Rent, and more.

On Broadway! is produced by Matt Davenport Productions, Inc., which since 1989 has provided award-winning entertainment including Birth of the Beat, One Enchanted Evening, American Big Band, and American Rhapsody, which was part of the International Gershwin Centennial Celebration and endorsed by the Gershwin estate.
