The Meadowbrook-An Historical Building The Meadowbrook, Cedar Grove, New Jersey Some famous singers who performed there early in their careers were Frank Sinatra, Doris Day and Rosemary Clooney.

Originally known as Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook it was the place for big bands to play their own particular kind of sweet, swing, dance or jazz music. Some of the famous big bands to play there were led by Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sammy Kaye, Glen Gray, Gene Krupa and Ralph Flanagan. The first nationally broadcast live radio program took place here in 1936. Young people all over the country listened to big band music from Frank Dailey's Meadowbrook every day. Eventually the big band era gave way to the popularity of "be-bop." The Meadowbrook was closed except for summer theater and catered parties for a long period of time. Then in 1959 it reopened as one of the country's first dinner theaters.
