On September 24 at 8PM, Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama will speak on Broadway at the beautifully refurbished New Amsterdam Theater (214 West 42nd Street).

Billed Barack on Broadway, Obama will speak and a collection of Broadway stars will perform, including Christine Ebersole, Marcia Gay Harden, Ruben Santiago Hudson, Kristen Johnson, Phylicia Rashad, Jeffrey Wright, and the Broadway Inspirational Voices. The event will be Directed by multi-Tony Award winner, George C. Wolfe, and feature readings from the works of some of America's greatest playwrights, compiled by John Lahr, Marsha Norman and Jack Viertel. Senator Obama's words will, of course, be his own.
