"Broadway has always been magical to me, and it was a joy to share that magic with my own kids," said Kelly Ripa. "I'm thrilled to be part of a program that exposes children to all of the things that I love about the theatre."
"I'm honored to serve with Kelly as this year's Ambassadors for Kids' Night on Broadway. I have huge respect for Broadway performers. In the theatre, as in sports, the hard work, discipline and focus it takes to be a success are important fundamentals for kids to learn, and these actors and dancers are great role models for kids," said Michael Strahan.
Today, along with young performers from some of the participating Broadway shows including Annie, The Lion King, Mary Poppins and Newsies, Michael and Kelly stopped by the August Wilson Theatre, current home of Jersey Boys, to kick off tickets sales to Kids' Night on Broadway.
Emmy Award-winning talk show "LIVE with Kelly and Michael" is distributed in national syndication by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Produced by WABC-TV in New York and executive produced by Michael Gelman, "LIVE" airs in more than 200 markets across the U.S.
