FOR MORE THAN ten years, audiences across the United States have raved about Neil Berg’s 100 Years Of Broadway concerts. Over the last 17 years, Barbadians have been treated to a similar experience with Berg’s Broadway To Barbados.
The American composer, lyricist and producer first brought his famous show to Barbados on a whim, attracting just a handful of patrons on the first night 17 years ago. Broadway To Barbados 2017 attracted full house at the Frank Collymore Hall nightly, and Berg cannot feel more satisfied.
