Watch: Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway

"Outstanding! That's the only word I can use to talk about the recent performance of Neil Berg's Broadway Holiday in Milwaukee! I have received so many comments from patrons that I couldn't possibly mention all of them. The quality of the show was "top shelf" in every way. Patrons told me that it would have been worth the price of the ticket to see and hear and ONE of the performers, let alone ALL FIVE. The mix of Broadway hits and Christmas music was perfect. I also have to mention Neil Berg's part in the show. His introductions were fascinating, informative and exciting to hear. The musical arrangements were among the best I have heard. Each vocalist was a real star!"

-Dan Schmal (Director of Arts Programming, Wisconsin Lutheran College)

"Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway killed my audience. They enjoyed it immensely! Neil's solo number just before intermission was perfectly placed for dramatic effect ... your best laid plans and fervent hopes came to fruition. The show was a knockout!"

-Paul Beard (Exec. Director, Bass Performance Hall, Ft. Worth, TX - 2000 Seats)

"It is hard to believe that you can set the bar so high for each performer, and that over and over again each one rises above those expectations to deliver extraordinary performances! These five Broadway stars have some of the very best voices performing on Broadway today. Neil Berg has created an immensely entertaining and educational show."

-Pebbles Wadsworth (Exec Dir., University of Texas, Austin Performing Arts Center)

Wow! What a great show! [We] knew it was going to be great! Our audience loved it! I want to bring the show back for our gala next year season!"

-Dean Corey (Exec. Dir., Orange County Philharmonic Society)

"A wonderful show. It is unanimous! Everyone wants in back next year. Book it!"

-Adriana Perez (Producer, Major Events, Carnival Center)

The show was fantastic! What a treat. I heard many great things from the audience during intermission and after the show. A few people I spoke with were not sure of what they purchased tickets to, but were so pleased they came. The audience really enjoyed Neil tying it all together. The talent was excellent and sang all the favorite show tunes."

-Steven Janicki (Executive Director of Melbourne's 2000-seat King Center)

"A wonderful show! Our audience really enjoyed it. Yes, we want it back next season!"

-Michael Blachly (Exec. Dir. Univ. of Florida Performing Arts)

An Amazing show! What a fun, crowd-pleasing, gala evening! A single evening with fifty of the greatest characters in Broadway musical history on stage performed by many of the artists who actually played these roles on Broadway. As a presenter, too often in this business our surprises are not pleasant ones, what we expect from a show just isn't there. This show delivers more than you can possibly imagine. My audience flipped ... The word of mouth is incredible! We can repeat the show easily anytime. Bravo!!!"

-Frank Villani (Exec. Director, Arts San Antonio)

"LOVED IT !!!!!! Our audience went crazy!!! And I have only heard raves from our patrons and staff. We teased them about 100 Years of Hollywood for April 9 next year."

-Robert Freedman (Exec. Director Ruth Eckerd Hall, Clearwater FL)

"The show was great! The good news is that we will probably be talking about a return engagemenT very soon."

-Elise Kushigan (Exec. Dir., Clowes Memorial Hall)

"FANTASTIC!!! Adam ... Friday night was truly wonderful! What an amazing show you and Neil Have brought into being. The band, five outstanding performers, Neil, the music ... a combination that brought down the house! The show was even better than when I saw it in Napa last year. Our audience loved it, whooped and swooned after every number, bought CDs like crazy and wanted to stand up and cheer after every song. Thank you for a wonderful theater experience. I can't imagine a better way to open our 43rd season."

-Rhonda Dunaway (Program Dept. Louisiana State University)

"[Thank] you for a great show! Several people came up to me last night and said it was the best show that they have seen in our venue! We want you back next year!"

-Jack Globenfelt (Exec. Director, Sunset Center, Carmel CA)

"The show was great. The singers were top notch. Ticket sales for the next year's production "100 years of Hollywood" have already increased."

-Natalie Bohnet (Exec. Director of UA Presenters at University of Arizona Tucson)

"I opened my season at Kean this year with Neil Berg's 100 Years of Broadway and wanted to send a heads-up to all of you about this marvelous show. I was expecting an enjoyable musical revue but was blown-away by the extraordinarily magnificent performances and the amazing audience response I received. This show resulted in more fan mail than that received in total over the last three years. I highly recommend it."

-Lindsay Gambini (Exec. Dir. Kean University, Kean, NJ)

"Two people told our president that it was the best thing that they had seen on our stage. That is saying a lot! So it was a hit! The two women who were new to me were a huge improvement. All five were fabulous! The three men were even better than when I saw them in California. We sold 1371 seats and they were thrilled. They stood in line for autographs and the performers were gracious. Everyone wanted them back. Some said they were going to follow them around Texas!"

-Susan Thomae-Morphew (Exec. Director, Univ. of Texas-Tyler)

"I cannot remember the last time an audience jumped to its feet with "Bravos" a dozen times or more. I cannot remember the last time I as a presenter was mobbed for bringing together my audience with such an extraordinary ensemble of musicians and vocalists. I promised them five Broadway Stars, one great band, and 100 years of song from the Great White Way, and did Neil Berg deliver! It was a sublimely satisfying journey showcasing the vocal brilliance of five of the finest singers to ever grace our stage at one time! Add to that the virtuosity of Neil Berg's musicianship (and showmanship), original cast members re-creating their signature roles; it was a mind-boggling evening seared into our collective memory!"

-Gian Morelli (Exec. Director, Capitol Civic Centre)

"Thanks for arranging the tickets to see "100 Years of Broadway" at Bass Hall this past Wednesday night. My wife and I enjoyed the show and the audience was very much into it. I thought the chemistry of the vocalists and of course Neil was smooth and entertaining. This show would be a very nice feature for our 5th Anniversary on Sat., Sept. 15, 2007.

-Bruce MacPherson (Exec. Director, Charles W. Eisemann Ctr. for the Performing Arts)

100 Years of Broadway is THE BEST entertainment value on the road today with brilliant Broadway stars at an affordable fee with a show that will fit on almost any stage.

-Jeffrey W. Gabel (Founding Executive Director, Gettysburg Majestic)

Our audience loved it!
