Broadway in Bryant Park, 2010
Each show is on a Thursday and lasts an hour, from 12:30p to 1:30p on The Lawn so it is a perfect opportunity to eat your lunch outdoors. There are many places nearby to grab food before you go, but head to the park as early as possible to grab a prime spot. You may be lucky enough to grab one of the picnic tables and chairs, but considering the anticipated crowds, bring a blanket just in case. Each day there will be casts from three to five different Broadway shows; each cast will perform two to three numbers.
On Thursday, July 8th, the casts from STOMP, Promises, Promises, In the Heights and Nunsense will perform. On Thursday, July 15th, the casts from The Phantom of the Opera, Billy Elliot, Memphis, South Pacific and the Radio City Christmas Spectacular will perform. Performing on Thursday July 22nd are the casts from Chicago, A Little Night Music, Falling for Eve and Rock of Ages. Thursday July 29th are performances from the casts of The Lion King, The Addams Family, Wicked and Next to Normal. On Thursday August 5th are performances from Avenue Q, Fela! and Million Dollar Quartet. On the final day of the performance, Thursday, August 12th, the casts from Mamma Mia!, American Idiot, La Cage Aux Folles, West Side Story and Mary Poppins.
