THE LEAGUE OF BROADWAY SUPER FRIENDS - a five-part harmony-singing group featuring Broadway's brightest stars and biggest talents, held their inaugural concert on Tuesday, June 7. At the event, Kelli O'Hara, Lindsay Mendez, Gavin Creel, Greg Naughton and Sherie Rene Scott performed at Le Poisson Rouge to raise funds in the fight against Pancreatic Cancer.

All upcoming concerts by THE LEAGUE OF BROADWAY SUPER FRIENDS will benefit a designated organization in need. Additional events and beneficiaries will be announced soon.

Since its inception, Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight Records has presented numerous concerts (originating as the award-winning "Sh-K-Boom Room" concert series) bringing Broadway's top talent together for unforgettable evenings of magnificent harmony, raising money for a host of important charities. Originating at New York City's The Cutting Room, these concerts have found homes in venues all over town, from Joe's Pub to The Village Theater to Broadway's New Amsterdam Theater. Now, Sh-K-Boom/Ghostlight is proud to return to its roots, returning to Le Poisson Rouge (formerly The Village Theater) and bringing the inspirational power of Broadway's best together to give something back to those in need.

Sh-K-Boom with its imprint Ghostlight Records has become the leading independent force in Original Broadway Cast Recordings - building a library of over 100 records the last 10 years, featuring the most successful Broadway musicals and solo albums by Broadway's biggest stars. Founded by Kurt Deutsch and wife Sherie Rene Scott, the label was created by and for the Broadway community and has garnered acclaim not only for their high-quality recordings, but for their innovative marketing techniques and efforts to reach the next generation of Broadway music fans via iTunes, music videos and more. The label (and President Kurt Deutsch) earned their first ever GRAMMY AWARD for the Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights. In recent Broadway seasons, Ghostlight has also preserved the scores of some of Broadway's biggest musicals, including Next to Normal, Hair, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Legally Blonde, Everyday Rapture, Passing Strange, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and The Drowsy Chaperone. Just released on the label are the OCR of Sister Act, as well as solo albums from Tony winners Sutton Foster, Alice Ripley, Christine Ebersole and Ben Vereen. Coverage of their albums has ranged from Rolling Stone to USA TODAY to The New York Times, from Blender Magazine to Playbill to Billboard, from AP Radio to Entertainment Weekly, from New York Magazine to Variety to NY-1 TV, from Time Out NY to Paper Magazine to The Advocate to The NY Daily News and much more. President Kurt Deutsch was interviewed by PLAYBILL, regarding the label's embrace of 'Broadway's Digital Age': http://www.playbill.com/features/article/118331.html. The company is recognized for reinventing the musical theatre recording landscape, and creating a new type of ‘United Artists' environment for Broadway producers and artists to participate in the funding and co-ownership of their albums.
