The best of Broadway is being presented free on six consecutive Thursdays this summer with "106.7 Lite fm Presents Broadway in Bryant Park 2010" - a lunchtime series which began on Thursday, July 8th at 12:30pm on the Bryant Park Stage. Sponsored by Bank of America, and JCPenney 33rd & 6th, and hosted by Lite fm's on-air personalities, the tenth annual presentation of open-air, On- and Off- Broadway lunch hour performances runs through August 12th.
BroadwayWorld was on hand to celebrate the performances of Promises, Promises, In The Heights, Stomp, and Nunsense last week, and was again present to celebrate performances by the casts of Phantom of the Opera, Billy Elliot, Memphis and South Pacific, in addition to scenes from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular this week!
