The Bedford Playhouse concludes its 75th Anniversary Celebration with the launch of their new series Broadway Behind the Curtain. The series premiers with the legendary Tony Award-winning Producer, Fran Weissler. Mrs. Weissler and her husband Barry have produced 28 Broadway hits, including Othello starring James Earl Jones and Christopher Plummer; Fiddler on the Roof with Topol; Gypsy with Tyne Daly; Annie Get Your Gun with Bernadette Peters and Reba McEntire; the 2010 revival of La Cage Aux Folles with Kelsey Grammar; the 2013 revival of Pippin; Chicago, the longest-running American musical in the world; and most recently Waitress, which features an original score by Grammy winning singer/songwriter, Sara Bareilles. Together, they have earned close to three dozen Tony or Drama Desk nominations and awards.
