Tony and Drama Desk Award winners and nominees, along with Broadway’s fastest rising stars, will be performing musical numbers during an all new production of Broadway Supports LIHSA.
The event will take place on Monday, Oct. 22 from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Rosalind Joel Conservatory for Music and Theatre, Seymour Weiner Theatre at the Long Island School for the Arts campus, located at 239 Cold Spring Road in Syosset.
Dozens of Broadway performers have appeared in previous editions of Broadway Supports LIHSA, including Tony Award nominee Philip Boykin (“The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess,” “Once on This Island”); composer Joe Iconis (“Be More Chill”); Tony Award Nominee Chad Kimball (“Come From Away,” “Memphis”); and Drama Desk Award nominee Eddie Korbich (“The Little Mermaid,” “The Drowsy Chaperone”), among many others.
Under the helm of Musical Director and Accompanist Rachel Dean, the production has been called “lightning in a bottle” since the cast is never the same, but always overflowing with talent.
This is the fourth year that Broadway stars have come together to support LIHSA, which is the only Long Island performing arts high school program that offers world-class training and preparation for students who are interested in exploring and pursuing careers in the arts. Last year’s show was a sell-out.
“It is deeply touching for these talented Broadway entertainers to donate their time to put together an unprecedented performance to support LIHSA,” said Nassau BOCES District Superintendent Dr. Robert R. Dillon. “The evening will not only help raise awareness of our stellar arts programs, it will also provide our current and future LIHSA students the opportunity to see how successful they can become!”
Broadway Supports LIHSA is being co-produced and co-directed by Jerome Vivona, a Broadway veteran and current artistic director of the American Theater Dance Workshop in Mineola, and Stephen DeAngelis, renowned casting director and producer of more than 300 different Broadway concerts at venues in New York and across the country.
There will be a special meet-and-greet with the performers after the show. To order tickets, visit www.nassauboces.org/gettickets.
