To celebrate the glory and wonder of Broadway, and to mark the end of the strike, the Great White Way's biggest and brightest packed the stage of the Marriott Marquis in a very special free public concert "Broadway's Back!" on Friday. As usual, Broadway Beat was there to capture all the excitement! Look for a full length feature on an upcoming episode of Broadway Beat, but we just COULD NOT WAIT to share some of the celebrating right away. Enjoy!

Featuring Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, and Bob Martin (Tony Award-winning creator of The Drowsy Chaperone), cast members from nearly every Broadway show joined together in song (and in costumes) to celebrate the return of Broadway and the holiday season. Featuring a full orchestra and special song-arrangements of favorites "There's No Business (Like Show Business)" and "We Need A Little Christmas."
