In Broadway and the Bard, Tony award winning stage and screen veteran Len Cariou gives full voice to an idea that he has harbored since his prophetic debut season on Broadway, first essaying Henry V and then singing opposite Lauren Bacall in Applause; combining his two great loves—Shakespeare and American Musical Comedy—into one rich and diverse tapestry; outfitting trenchant soliloquies and sonnets with inventive musical pairings from beloved writers of the Great White Way.

Conceived by Mr. Cariou with his ace collaborators, director Barry Kleinbort and musical director Mark Janas, the evening is an eighty-minute melding of superb soliloquy and memorable song performed by a one-of-a-kind master actor of exquisite vintage in what the Bard might refer to as "a most rare vision.”
