Blog: From Backwoods to Broadway – UWEC Grad Barry Anderson is Living the Dream
Broadway! The lights! The glamour! The guy in his underwear playing guitar in Times Square!
I made my first trip to New York City in August and the Broadway experience did not disappoint. On a marathon road trip out to and down the East Coast, my wife and daughter and I set aside one evening to catch our first Broadway show – the Tony-Award-winning “Jersey Boys.”
It was a great choice. The music was exceptional, the performances were outstanding and the staging was impressive, and it featured a Western Wisconsin native, Barry Anderson, in an entertaining role.
