From June 24th - Sept 4th, the following artists will perform solo shows in the new Broadway at The Art House series, with Rudetsky at the piano:

Rudetsky will also run his hilarious one man "deconstructing" comedy all summer at the Art House entitled Seth's Big Fat Broadway Show (June 23 - Sept. 3).Seth is the afternoon Broadway host on Sirius XM satellite radio. As a musician, he has played piano for over a dozen Broadway shows including Ragtime, Les Miserables, and Phantom of the Opera. He was also the Artistic Producer and Music Director for the first five annual Actors Fund Fall Concerts, which included Dreamgirls with Audra McDonald (recorded on Nonesuch Records) and Hair with Jennifer Hudson (recorded on Ghostlight Records, Grammy nomination). As a comic he was awarded "Funniest Gay Male in NY" at Stand-Up NY and is a three-time Emmy nominee as a writer for The Rosie O'Donnell Show. As an actor, he made his Broadway debut in The Ritz directed by Joe Mantello, and has appeared on television on Law and Order C.I. and All My Children. As an author, he wrote the books The Q Guide to Broadway and Broadway Nights, also just released as an audio book on audible.com featuring Andrea Martin, Jonathan Groff and Kristin Chenoweth, and writes a weekly column on Playbill.com. His new Broadway at The Art House series is certain to be, by his own signature estimation, "A-MAH-zing!"
