Broadway On Broadway

Yesterday, Little David and I attended Broadway On Broadway, the annual free concert in Times Square that showcases the casts of hit shows. Weather was great, a little chilly at times, but we were miles away from the stage. The sound system was fine in our location, but quite annoyingly the video screens were out of sync with the sound for most of the show. Lance Bass proved a capable (if bland) host, although he didn't perform, unlike last year's host, Martin Short.

Bass did give the audience an unintended chuckle when he tripped over his cue cards, saying that Hairspray was where he'd made his "broad debut." The highlight of the show was Drowsy Chaperone's Tony winner Beth Leavel belting out As We Stumble Along, my favorite song from the show. The photo above shows the confetti shower during the finale sing-along of New York, New York. The wind actually deposited most of the confetti blocks away, not on the crowd. I posted a one-minute video of the finale on YouTube.
