On September 11th, the second of six free NYMF concerts was presented at the Times Square Virgin Megastore (1540 Broadway, between 45th & 46th Streets), who is partnering with the New York Musical Theatre Festival to give audiences a sneak peek of shows opening each week of the Festival.
This concert included performances from Flight of the Lawnchair Man, The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun, Smoking Bloomberg, and Warrior.
"The Virgin shows will feature one song from each show, with different productions performing at each event. The concerts will be hosted by friends of the Festival, including Daniel Reichard (Jersey Boys), the Altar Boyz, and the cast of [title of show]. In addition to previewing the shows, audiences at the Virgin Megastore events will also be able to snag some NYMF swag – including merchandise, paraphernalia and tickets – and catch the inside scoop about special NYMF events and promotions all month long!," according to NYMF notes.
The next show (September 13) will feature performances from Alive in the World, Angels, Captain Gravy's Wavy Navy, Lunch, and Virgins. All concerts start at 5:00 PM sharp. For more info, check out www.nymf.org.
