Ellen's Stardust Diner Presents 'The New Faces Of 2018 Starduster Showcase'

Ellen's Stardust Diner, in the heart of the Theatre District in Times Square, is home to the world famous singing waiters known as the Stardusters. On February 20, downstairs from Ellen's at The Iridium, five Broadway-bound Stardusters will be celebrating the music of the Great White Way as part of The New Faces of 2018 Starduster Showcase, presented by Ellen's Stardust Diner.

At the piano will be Musical Director Mark Hartman with hosting duties shared by Scott Barbarino, Artistic Director of Ellen's Stardust Diner and Lisa Asher, who also dons her director's hat for this special night.

"This seasonal event is a collaborative effort to give Stardusters the opportunity to showcase their individual talents," says Barbarino. "This is also an opportunity for Broadway fans to see these very talented performers at the start of their successful careers in theatre and live entertainment."
