Now a popular feature at a number of shows, the Broadway lottery was begun 10 years ago by producers Jeffrey Seller and Kevin McCollum for their runaway hit, Rent. The lottery has also been a popular feature at the musical Avenue Q since it opened on Broadway in 2003, which is produced by Kevin McCollum, Robyn Goodman and Jeffrey Seller, the trio that is presenting High Fidelity on Broadway.
A first-time collaboration between composer Tom Kitt, lyricist Amanda Green, and book writer David Lindsay-Abaire, High Fidelity is a new musical comedy based on the best-selling novel by Nick Hornby.High Fidelity is directed by Tony Award-winner Walter Bobbie (Chicago), and is produced by Jeffrey Seller, Kevin McCollum, and Robyn Goodman (the team that produced Avenue Q). The show stars Will Chase (Lennon, Aida) and Jenn Colella (Urban Cowboy), among others. High Fidelity, according to press notes, "tells the story of Rob, a record store owner who knows almost everything there is to know about pop music, but almost nothing about how to hold on to a girl. Rob's love life, already a broken record of heartache, falls off the charts completely when he gets dumped by Laura….but that just sets him up for one of the top 5 romantic comebacks ever."Videos
