“Return to those glorious radio days of yesteryear, and join the studio audience at Broadway at Birdland, ’Heaven’s Hottest Hot Spot,’ as Broadway’s legendary producer Florenz Ziegfeld gathers some of the greatest stars of the 20st Century for one last hurrah, a holiday broadcast like no other, direct from the other side,” according to press notes. “Broadway stars from the present portray a bevy of Broadway stars from the past in this original immersive musical revue, inspired by the radio show The Ziegfeld Follies of the Air which was broadcast from 1932 to 1936.”

The original musical revue features songs by Irving Berlin, Howard Dietz and Arthur Schwartz, Vernon Duke, George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin, Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, P.G. Wodehouse, B.G. DeSylva, Robert Wright and George Forrest, and more.
