Ease on Down the Road, The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow, Day by Day, Summer Lovin’ – the lyrics and music of 1970s Broadway remain vital for audiences of all ages from families to seniors to high-school students who have  performed in the plays. The cast will include artists and musicians from Southside Johnny & The Jukes, 50 Shades of Gray – The Musical, The Broadway Productions of Annie & Hair, and more.

BROADWAY 4 ALL will be a new Sunday series at the Suffolk Theater – a musical review of a specific Broadway period – produced by veteran Broadway musician Frank Canino, who’s performances in musicals such as Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Motown: The Musical, and others have made him one of Broadway’s most sought after musicians.
