BERLIN TO BROADWAY WITH KURT WEILL is a remarkable musical voyage through the career of one the most extraordinary artists of the twentieth century.
Kurt Weill's greatest theatre works are presented in a fluid blend of song and story spanning twenty eventful years, from Von Hindenburg and Hitler in Germany, where Weill became an outstanding theatre composer by the time he was thirty, to Roosevelt and Truman in the U.S. where he became a renowned citizen of his adopted country and a master of the Broadway musical. Along the way, he created some of the most popular and daring musical theatre pieces of his day, collaborating with a dazzling array of literary giants, including Bertolt Brecht, Langston Hughes, Maxwell Andersen, Alan Jay Lerner and Ira Gershwin, and blurring the boundary between "serious" and "popular" music.
