Veteran Broadway performers Samantha Massell (Fiddler on the Roof, The Flamingo Kid), Ben Fankhauser (Newsies, Beautiful), and Alex Wyse (Waitress, Spring Awakening) perform Avinu Malkeinu to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year.
Liz shared: "This is one of my all-time favorite songs to sing! I first sang it as a singing waitress when I moved to NYC, and will NEVER stop singing it. Meadowlark is not an especially easy song to sing sitting down, but this was a special request for my AutoTunes series."
Webber called Song & Dance "arguably one of my favourite pieces of work that I've made." He told the story of the creation of the show, played a bit of Take That Look Off Your Face, and more.

Cherry Jones took home her third Emmy Award this weekend for her role in Succession. Saturday night was the fifth night of the virtual Creative Arts Emmys ceremony. Jones accepted her award in a pre-recorded acceptance speech.
"To all the outrageously gifted artists who concoct and make Succession, especially Mr Armstrong, Mr McKay and Mr Rich, thank you for allowing my Pierce cousins and me to come and do battle with your Roys. It was an artistic high," she said.
