Produced by 10th and Main Productions partners, Susan Egan and Adam J. Levy, Broadway in Brooklyn harkens back to the Improvâs 1960s roots, when founder Budd Friedman opened an intimate space for Broadway performers to gather after their shows. Soon, artists like Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler, and Barry Manilow found their way to the clubâs signature piano. Before long, comedian Dave Astor stepped up to the mic to try out his material, and a new form of live entertainment was born â stand-up comedy.Â
Broadway in Brooklyn is honoring that legacy, reuniting Broadway stars and music with the Improv stage, now in the heart of Williamsburg, Brooklyn.Â
