This nostalgic review will delight audiences with the big sounds and songs made famous on Broadway, the movies and radio and will take place, all in one weekend, featuring 40 talented male and female artists who once graced the Broadway Live stage.

The project is spearheaded by Executive Producer and Director David T. Panteleakos and Executive Producer James D. Kellaway, owners of Broadway Live Productions/THOMASDORAN and company. Panteleakos created the production company in 2000 to provide an outlet for creative endeavors that would also benefit good causes.

“It is our intention to celebrate Broadway Live Productions 15th birthday through this philanthropic endeavor and have called upon the talented professionals of our past to help make this a celebration that our community will truly enjoy and benefit from,” said Panteleakos. James D. Kellaway, Executive Producer adds, “We are pleased to present this outstanding production and especially appreciative of the tremendous support received through our sponsors.”
