Adam Pascal To Join Seth Rudetsky In Fort Lauderdale

Internationally acclaimed Broadway @ concert series, hosted and music directed by Sirius XM Radio star Seth Rudetsky, will return to the Broward Center's Parker Playhouse with two more star-studded shows this season. Adam Pascal, star of the original Broadway cast of Rent, and the film version, as well as the Broadway hits Chicago, Memphis, and Cabaret, joins the series on Sunday, March 24 at 7 PM. He recently starred in the new musical Pretty Woman. Next, London's Phantom of the Opera stars reunite as Sierra Boggess, Broadway's original Ariel in The Little Mermaid and a frequent Christine Daaé in Phantom of the Opera and its sequel Love Never Dies will join forces with Ramin Karimloo, the Tony & Olivier Award Nominee and star of Broadway's Anastasia, Les Misérables and London's The Phantom of the Opera, on Saturday, May 18 at 8 PM (this concert was rescheduled from its original February 8th date).

The unique format of the series that differentiates it from any other is a seamless mix of intimate behind-the-scenes stories prompted by Rudetsky's insightful, funny and revealing questions - and the music from the artists' stellar careers. The result is spontaneous evenings of show-stopping songs and hilarity. The Broadway @ Series was first launched at Provincetown's Art House theater in 2011 by Cortale and Rudetsky and now makes its home in more than a dozen major venues worldwide.
