Austin Area Arts is pleased to present the final event of the “Paramount Goes Dark” mini-performance series on Thursday, May 8, 7:30 p.m. at Riverland Community College’s Frank W. Bridges Theatre.

This performance features Neil Berg’s 100 Years of Broadway.

With a professional New York ensemble of six, plus local singers from MacPhail Center for Music’s Austin CommUNITY Choir, 100 Years of Broadway will recreate the greatest moments of Broadway featuring actual stars of shows such as “The Phantom of the Opera,” “Les Misérables,” “CATS,” and “Jesus Christ Superstar.” Emceed by musical director and pianist Neil Berg and backed by a small musical combo, three Broadway performers perform songs from the shows in which they starred.

Rita Harvey, Erick Buckley, and Richard Todd Adams have been announced as the Broadway singers coming to Austin.

Harvey made her Broadway debut performing the role of Christine Daae in “The Phantom of the Opera” after two and a half years in the role with the national touring company. She is married to Berg and also tours with her own Linda Ronstadt tribute show.

Buckley was the first person in the world to perform both the roles of Marius and Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables,” as well as Uncle Fester in “The Addams Family” and Piangi in Andrew Loyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera.”

Adams has spent much of the last decade performing across the country in some of the most sought-after roles in musical theatre and made his Broadway debut in 2005 in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Woman in White,” and shortly thereafter, appeared on Broadway again in Boublil and Schoenberg’s The Pirate Queen.

100 Years of Broadway general admission seating is $39 for adults and $10 for children and students. For tickets or more information, visit www.austinareaarts.org or call the Austin ArtWorks Center office Tuesday through Saturday during regular business hours at 507-434-0934.
