Neil Berg’s 50 Years of Rock and Roll Returns to the Great Waters Stage
Back by popular demand, Neil Berg and his 50 Years of Rock and Roll production will appear in the Great Waters tent at the Castle in the Clouds on Friday, July 28th at 7:30 pm. The show, part of the Concerts in the Clouds series, features a cast of stars from Broadway’s greatest rock musicals as well as incredible rock and roll vocalists.
Berg will share fascinating stories and groundbreaking music from the often unknown fifty-year history of the music that changed the world from Rock and Roll in the 1940s through MTV in the early 80s. There will be tributes to such stars as Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, The Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and so many more.
Berg is a composer/ lyricist and producer and has composed music for several productions including: The Twelve, Grumpy Old Men: The Musical, The Prince and the Pauper, Tim and Scrooge, Never Grimm and The Man Who Would Be King. He is the creator and co-producer along with his producing partner Adam Freidson of Neil Berg’s 100 Years of Broadway and Neil Berg’s 50 Years of Rock and Roll, one of the most successful Broadway touring companies in the United States. This is the only show of the 2023 season to be held on a Friday night.
