Day 1 of the 2024 US Open Championships kicked off yesterday at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center. In attendance were several Broadway stars who hit the blue carpet before the event, such as Lin-Manual Miranda, Shoshana Bean, and Ashley Park.

Attendees included Vera Wang, Katie Couric, Ally Love, and Misty Copeland among others.

The National Anthem was performed by two-time Tony nominee and GRAMMY-nominated actress Shoshana Bean in collaboration with the ESPN and Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen Broadway musical. This collaboration features a custom remix of the song, “Kaleidoscope,” from Keys’ 13-time Tony-nominated musical, created for this year’s event, which debuted during Opening Night. 

Fresh off the Season 4 premiere of Emily in Paris, co-stars Ashley Park and Paul Forman were also present. Other guests in attendance include golfer Jon Rahm, New York Rangers alternate captain Adam Fox, Black Panther star and tennis superfan Danai Gurira, Bridgerton’s Phoebe Dynevor and former Giants player Justin Tuck.
