Earlier this week, the New York Theatre community gathered for a private screening of the upcoming film RESPECT, which is out in theatres starting today, August 13. Star of the film, Jennifer Hudson, director Liesl Tommy and more were on hand for the big night.

Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley announced today that their live and in person Stars in the House at The Town Hall will be rescheduled to Monday, October 25th at 8:00 PM, consistent with Theatre Authority guidelines.

Susie Mosher's ongoing tenacity continues to be reflected in her guest cast.

If the movie performs well, the door is open for Roku to order additional episodes.

Learn about the cast and all the scoop on the event will feature performances by Mario Cantone, Gavin Creel, Ariana DeBose, Cynthia Erivo, Stephanie Hsu, Rita Moreno, Jennifer Nettles, Alex Newell, Isaac Powell, Amber Riley, Gabrielle Ruiz and Ali Stroker.

Legendary composer/arranger Tom Kitt (Next to Normal, Jagged Little Pill) has teamed up with TodayTix at Tavern to celebrate the release of his debut studio album, Reflect. The 2-time Tony Award winner will sit down at the piano while special guests perform songs from the album, along with iconic numbers from some of Tom’s most well-known musicals.

Tony-nominated actress Ariana DeBose inaugurated the Spring Hill Arts Gathering (SHAG Festival) on Friday, July 30th with a cabaret performance of career favorites and beloved hits, presented by TodayTix.

Jason Gotay, who currently stars as teacher Rafa Caparros on Gossip Girl, will take the stage on August 2nd. Gotay  previously appeared in Love Life with Anna Kendrick and played one of the Lost Boys on NBC’s Peter Pan Live! His  Broadway credits include Bring It On The Musical and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.  

There are some people who just bring joy wherever they go. People who, just by the force of their personality, make things feel safe and kind and fun. Jelani Remy (Ain't Too Proud, The Lion King, Smokey Joe's Cafe) is just that sort of person, as he proved tonight in his solo show THIS IS MY MOMENT at Feinstein's 54 Below. Although his show started as something rather autobiographical, about halfway through he discarded the device and just sang songs that were joyful and that showcased his marvelous, rangy voice.

Next week, FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club & Private Event Destination, will present some of the brightest stars from Broadway, cabaret, jazz, and beyond.

Derek Klena (Jagged Little Pill, Anastasia, Wicked) and Alex Newell (Once on This Island, Glee, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist) are the latest Broadway stars to join the outdoor summer concert series TodayTix at Tavern, while Ariana DeBose (Hamilton, Steven Spielberg's West Side Story) returns for an encore show.

Nominees include Leslie Odom Jr., Renée Elise Goldsberry, Bryan Cranston, Colton Domingo, and more.

The stars are coming OUT of the house, and they’re inviting fans along!  On Sunday, September 12, Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley will host a very special LIVE “Stars In The House” at The Town Hall in New York City.  

The acclaimed Broadway Sings concert series is making its long-awaited in-person return celebrating Lady Gaga's epic 2020 album Chromatica. 

Two very special episodes of “Stars In The House” have been announced to celebrate and honor Pride Month and the LGBTQ community.  Tonight, the cast of the groundbreaking series “Queer As Folk” will reunite to talk about the iconic show and what it meant to be a part of the first American drama series with gay characters as leads. 

Kandel will take the festival stage performing on Saturday, August 7 at Spring Hill Arts Gathering in Washington, CT where he’ll be sharing the bill with artists such as KT Tunstall, Ariana Debose, Alex Newell and Sophie B Hawkins.

The event will be hosted by RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE star Nina West!

This joyful event aimed to encourage New Yorkers and tourists alike to put away the screens, throw on their most fabulous looks, and reemerge into this great city to fall in love with it all over again.

Brand New Day will feature musical performances, a fashion runway show, and dancing in the streets live in Times Square (W 43rd Street & 7th Avenue) on Friday, June 11, 2021 at 11 AM.
