About The Songbook Series
The Songbook Series began with early explorations at Paper Mill Playhouse and Stage One Wichita. It gained national momentum during its seven-year run at The Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in St. Paul, where it became a significant audience-development force and a popular fixture of the season. Rebranded from Broadway Songbook to The Songbook Series to reflect a broader musical landscape, the project explores iconic songs and their creators through narration, music history, and concert performance. Past editions have celebrated the works of Sondheim, Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers and Hart, Cole Porter, Kander and Ebb, the Singer-Songwriters of the 1970s, the Birth of Rock and Roll, and Hollywood’s Golden Age. The virtual edition of the series won BroadwayWorld’s Best Streaming Concert (2021). Upcoming Songbook Series titles projected for release in 2027 include Broadway in Love, The Women Who Wrote the Songs, and Yankee Doodle Boy.
