Broadway Unplugged.
STARS ANNOUNCED FOR 5TH ANNUAL BROADWAY UNPLUGGED!
BROADWAY’S MARY POPPINS, ASHLEY BROWN, LEADS CAST THAT INCLUDES MARC KUDISCH, JEFF McCARTHY, MATT CAVENAUGH, CHERYL FREEMAN, CHUCK COOPER, JULIA MURNEY, WILLIAM MICHALS, CHRISTIANE NOLL, AND MORE!
On Monday, November 17th at 8 PM, The Town Hall stage will thunder with the sound of Broadway’s greatest voices in the 5th Annual Broadway Unplugged. The thunder will be provided without any microphones; we do it with just terrific singers singing great Broadway show tunes. Welcome to the concert with sound design by God!
This year’s Broadway Unplugged will feature some newcomers to this critically acclaimed concert event: Broadway’s Mary Poppins, Ashley Brown, will lend her magnificent voice to the proceedings for the first time, as will the future star of this season's revival of West Side Story, Matt Cavenaugh. Also new to the concert will be Broadway’s much-beloved Jeff McCarthy (Urinetown, Side Show, etc.), and bright voiced Broadway star Julia Murney (Wicked).
Returning are Broadway Unplugged anchors such as two time Tony Nominee Marc Kudisch, Tony Award winner Chuck Cooper, from South Pacific, William Michals, Jekyll & Hyde's Christiane Noll, Woman in White's Ron Bohmer, and the award-winning vocalist Bill Daugherty. And that’s just the beginning of what will be another stunning cast promised by the concert’s creator, Scott Siegel. “This show has, consistently, been one of the most exciting concert events that I’ve ever witnessed, either as a producer or as an audience member,” said Siegel. “Every one of these shows has been unforgettable and I have no reason to believe that the next one on November 17th will be an less spectacular.”
Broadway Unplugged is priced to be recession-proof, with a wide range of ticket prices that begin at $25 for the rear balcony (“Kudisch says that’s the best place to hear this concert.”), $50 for the front balcony, and $75 for the orchestra and loge. Tickets can be purchased through TicketMaster at 212-307-4100 or at TicketMaster.com. Tickets will become available at the Town Hall box office at 123 West 43rd Street beginning on Friday, October 19th from noon to 6 PM every day except Sunday.
