DUBUQUE, IOWA (March 28, 2023) — Neil Berg’s widely-acclaimed 103 Years of Broadway, presented by the Dubuque Arts Council in cooperation with Heritage Center, will be performed at 7:30PM, Saturday, May 6, 2023, in John and Alice Butler Hall, Heritage Center, University of Dubuque. The performance is part of the tenth-annual Live at Heritage Center Performing Arts Series.

Producer, pianist, and composer Neil Berg will return to Heritage Center with a sequel to his Broadway revue with a dazzling cast of stars from Broadway’s greatest musicals — including Rita Harvey (above) — and an all-star New York band. Through 103 Years of Broadway, Berg will share the songs and stories behind the music that changed the world. The performance will recreate the greatest moments from the finest shows of the century featuring the actual stars of the shows such as The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, West Side Story, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Wicked, and many more. Berg will present brilliantly-revived arrangements of Broadway classics as well as thrilling numbers from Broadway’s newest hit shows.

Harvey is a Broadway actress, singer, and performer who is the principle soprano in Neil Berg’s 100 Years of Broadway, which is now the number one touring Broadway concert in the country. Harvey performed the role of Hodel in the Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof, directed by David Leveaux, and made her Broadway début with the role of Christine Daae in The Phantom of the Opera. Harvey has performed in concert with such stars as Rob Evan, Liz Calloway, Betty Buckley, Ben Vereen, Craig Schulman, Lillias White, Rita Moreno, and Michael Crawford.
