Nearly 6,000 people from around the world, turned out to celebrate their favorite thing….Broadway. For three days the event at the New York Hilton saw theater fans converging together to meet their favorite actors, sing their favorite songs and meet and greet others who felt just like them. Broadway may have shut down on Saturday and cancellations of celebrities which included Darren Criss and Jeremy Jordan happened but the fans made their own show with singalongs and a Saturday night cabaret that turned a slumber party.
Our favorite class was Melissa Erico’s Master Class. Here is Part 2 with Melissa and her fabulous musical director Ted Furth.Melissa Errico’s Broadway credits include My Fair Lady, Dracula, White Christmas, High Society, Anna Karenina and Amour (Tony Award nomination).
