Led by noted composer and lyricist Neil Berg, this Broadway revue show is unlike any other in the country.

Composer and lyricist Berg has had nine shows produced in the past three years, including the critically acclaimed The Prince and the Pauper, and he is composer for the upcoming Broadway musical Grumpy Old Men based on the contemporary movie classic starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. His latest show, The Man Who Would Be King, recently opened in California and is optioned for a Broadway run. He is also collaborating with Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Robert Schenkkan on a new musical called The Twelve. Berg produces the popular 100 Years of Broadway Concert Series that delights audiences around the country.
Berg?s appearance at Lenape is always an audience favorite. With his talented friends from The Great White Way, this year?s 107 Years of Broadway promises to showcase the aura, the passion and the talent that has enchanted audiences for more than a century.
