Miscast ‘24 – Broadway Unlocked

Regular readers know that this annual cabaret is one of my favourite shows of the year and I never fail to recommend it to you. The Miscast gala is a one-night-only musical spectacular featuring Broadway’s hottest stars performing songs from roles in which they would not traditionally be cast.
 
This is always fun and frequently spectacular as singers who would be too tall, too short, too fat, too unsuitable for the roles they long to play, render songs they will never have the opportunity to sing in the show for which they were written, and sing their socks off. This year’s show will include a tribute to Jason Robert Brown  and the singers who have appeared in his shows. 

Miscast  is never less than entertaining and all proceeds go to a good cause. Funds raised from Miscast help to produce some of the most talked-about new work Off-Broadway and support the Youth Company and in-school partnerships that serve New York City public high school students.

Some of the stars who will be performing are Lea Salong, Brian d’Arcy James, Vanessa Williams and a host of others, some of whom will be a surprise on the night.

This year’s show will be filmed live at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC on April 29th and will be available On Demand April 30th-May 5th
