The Broadway League and The Coalition of Broadway Unions and Guilds (COBUG) just welcomed Tony Award winner Bebe Neuwirth as host for the seventh annual BROADWAY SALUTES event Tuesday night, September 29, 2015. The event included special guest performances by Nikki M James, Nathaniel Hackmann, Sydney Lucas and Jake Lucas who each performed a song from three shows that opened the year the BROADWAY SALUTES honorees entered the business. In this industry-wide public celebration, theatre professionals received special recognition for having worked 25, 35 and 50+ years on Broadway for their valuable contributions to the business.
BROADWAY SALUTES honors actors, agents, attorneys, box office treasurers, casting directors, choreographers, composers, designers, directors, dressers, managers, musicians, orchestrators, producers, publicists, stagehands, stage managers, stylists, theater owners, ticket sellers, ushers, writers, and many more theatre professionals who have dedicated their careers to the success of Broadway.
Broadway contributes nearly $12 billion to NYC's economy, supports an estimated 87,000 full-time equivalent jobs and generates $500 million in NYC taxes.
BROADWAY SALUTES is a time to acknowledge the people who work behind the scenes and onstage, recognizing the incredible talent these dedicated artists, craftspeople, technicians and other professionals bring to the industry. The hard work of these individuals provides countless hours of entertainment to both tourists and New Yorkers, and acts as a significant source of revenue to the New York City economy. We are proud to honor those who make our Broadway community extraordinary." Jessica R. Jenen, and Hal Goldberg Co-Chairs, Broadway League
