The production explores Kurt Weill's journey from the dark days of Pre-World War II Germany to the hope and promise of the 1950’s American Dream. From death to rebirth, from isolation to community, "Berlin to Broadway" chronicles the making of an American as this extraordinary composer discovers the diversity and rich music of his new homeland, and contributes his classical European training and his love of the Music Hall.

Audiences will rediscover such beloved old favorites as "September Song" and "Mack the Knife" and thrill to the jazzy harmonies of Street Scene and Lost in the Stars. Featured in this musical odyssey are local Post Theatre Company members including Debra Bieler of Hauppauge, Jennifer Cintron and Reynold Hewitt of Wantagh, Heather Vernesie from Lindenhurst and alumnus Michael Baker. The show is directed by C.W. Post Theatre Professor Cara Gargano of Manhattan with musical direction by James Cottone of Babylon.
