The series, sponsored by Bank of America and State Farm, features live performances excerpted from big-name on- and off-Broadway shows for open-air enjoyment during lunch hour. BroadwayWorld.com's cameras were there to celebrate the launch!
Lite fm's on-air personalities do the hosting honors. Upcoming Bye Bye Birdie star John Stamos will stop by on August 13th to close the series.
