Broadway By the Year: 2000-2004
The Town Hall, NYC, February 24, 2020
Reviewed by Ron Forman
The first of Scott Siegel’s four Broadway By the Year shows celebrating the 20th anniversary of this very successful series at The Town Hall was the most spectacular show that Siegel has ever presented. The opening number, which featured more than two dozen tap dancers, recreating the opening number of the revival of 42nd Street, was just the first of many show-stopping numbers in this one-night-only production—a celebration of the Broadway musicals including revivals from the years 2000-2004.
The opening number was followed by a big voiced “Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’” by Max von Essen.

He would return to reprise a song that he performed in 2003 during the brief run of Dance of the Vampires, “For Sarah.

” The very beautiful Nicole Henry, one of today’s best jazz vocalists, showed off her great voice and phrasing ability with “After You’ve Gone” and “Falling in Love with Love,” which opened Act II of the show.

“I’ve Loved These Days” was performed as it was in Moving Out with Danny Gardner singing and Yuriko Miyake and Michael Santomassimo dancing gracefully. Brian Charles Rooney (pictured) used his amazing vocal versatility to perform three show-stopping numbers: a very stirring “I Am What I Am”; a hilariously performed, drag queeny, “Sweet Transvestite”; and a moving “Once Before I Go,” holding the last note on the word “Go” while the audience cheered. In two other show-stoppers Ben Jones performed the very difficult “The God-Why-Don’t-You-Love-Me-Blues” from Follies and “Gethsemane” from Jesus Christ Superstar.
Lianne Marie Dobbs showed off her voice and dramatic ability with “The Next Best Thing to Love” and another with show-stopper “The Winner Takes It All.” Jenny Lee Stern scored with a Judy Holiday-ish “I’m Going Back” from Bells Are Ringing. Special guest star Tovah Feldshuh offered a rousing “Some People.

” Gardner danced and sang in front of the Broadway By the Year Chorus with the uplifting “Run, Freedom, Run” from Urinetown to close Act I. He would return with the Broadway By the Year Dancers for the spectacular closing number, “I Wanna Be A Producer.”
Siegel’s always interesting and amusing introductory comments to each number moved the show along smoothly, and music director Ross Patterson’s three-piece band often sounded like an orchestra.
