Musical theatre licensing house Theatrical Rights Worldwide (TRW) hosted 175 regional theatre managers and creatives for a celebration of their 10th year representing Broadway, Off Broadway and theatre for young audience shows. The invitation-only dinner and concert event was held Oct 15, aboard the luxury yacht Atlantica, setting sail from Pier 61, providing breathtaking views of New York City.
The three-hour event featured special concert performances from Bobby Steggert, reprising his show-stopping "Stranger," from BIG FISH. Michelle Ragusa beautifully delivered the title song from TRW's newly acquired TENDERLY: THE ROSEMARY CLOONEY MUSICAL. Ben Clark and Kate Steinberg performed a haunting, searing "Here Right Now," from GHOST THE MUSICAL, then GLEE's Jenna Ushkowitz brought her trademark star power to "Without the Guy," from DISENCHANTED!
Next up from TRW's new edition of SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER THE MUSICAL was the uber-talented Natalie Weiss with a stunning rendition of a seductive "Nights On Broadway." In a surprise finale, Tony Award winning composer David Bryan, of Bon Jovi fame, took the stage and brought down the house, playing a brilliant medley of songs from his 2010 Best Musical MEMPHIS. Accompaniment and music direction for the concert was provided by Jeff Theiss.
BroadwayWorld is happy for our continued partnership with TRW and congratulates them on another successful year!
