Catch Some Broadway Musical Stars Off-Stage
Can’t make it to a Broadway show? Luckily for you, you can still catch the stars performing some of their stuff off-stage.
On Tuesday, July 14 at 4:30 PM, the stars of 9-5 are scheduled to perform at the Barnes & Noble on Broadway and 66th Street. Rumor has it that you may even be able to score a copy of the new CD before they’re released to the general public on the 28th…
And if you don’t want to leave the comfort of your home, flip on the TV. Ann Harada and Anika Larsen, co-stars in Avenue Q, will perform on the July 9 broadcast of CW11 Morning News, airing in the New York metropolitan area on Channel 11 from 7-9 AM ET. They’ll be singing “The More You Ruv Someone” and “There’s a Fine, Fine Line.”
Not in New York? Tough luck. Start saving your pennies or pray for another movie like Rent Filmed Live on Broadway.
