Broadway's Mixtape, a new concert series featuring Broadway's best talent performing the songs of the artists who have influenced them the most, will debut at New York's iconic rock club Le Poisson Rouge this September.

Announced this morning are additional performances by newcomer Ruby Lewis (Paramour) and long-time main stem favorite Eric Anderson (Waitress, The Last Ship, Rocky).

The debut concert - Broadway's Mixtape: The House That Rock Built - will feature performances of rock's greatest hits by Emily Padgett (Bright Star, Sideshow), Tony nominee Mary Bridget Davies (A Night with Janis Joplin), Justin Matthew Sargent (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, Rock of Ages), Amber Iman (Shuffle Along, Soul Doctor), Betsy Struxness (Hamilton, Memphis), Margo Seibert (Rocky), Josh Tower (Motown, School of Rock), Kate Rockwell (Rock of Ages, Hair), Brian Gonzales (Aladdin, One Man Two Guvnors), Carrie Compere (The Color Purple, Holler If Ya Hear Me), Jake Odmark (Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark, Kinky Boots) and Apollo Link, Emily Cramer (School of Rock, Les Miserables), Kevin Mambo (Fela!), Matt Ban (Rock of Ages) and more with a five-piece live band.

The concert is directed by Matt DiCarlo with music direction by Henry Aronson.

"Broadway has some truly incredible rock singers, and depending upon their current roles, it's a side of them not always seen or heard. Broadway's Mixtape will let audiences experience their great talent and hear the songs and stories that influenced them along the way," says producer Kate Egan. "I'm pleased to be partnering with Broadway Style Guide to make the debut concert an evening of great music and exceptional rock style."

"The mission of Broadway Style Guide is to showcase the talent and individual style of the theater community outside the stage door. Rock and Roll is absolutely a reflection of style, and we're excited to partner with Kate Egan on a downtown event that brings some edge and shows off a different side of the community," said Broadway Style Guide Publisher, John Vermeer.
