STAGE TUBE: Broadway's Richard Jay-Alexander Sings at GMA's Sam Champion and Artist Rubem Robierb's Wedding

As reported by BroadwayWorld.com's friend, Steve Rothaus of the Miami Herald, Good Morning America weather anchor Sam Champion and Miami artist Rubem Robierb on Monday celebrated their New York marriage on Dec. 31 with a New Year's Eve reception Monday night in Miami Beach.

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts, himself newly married to Patrick Abner, performed a brief wedding ceremony at the Beach reception, which was attended by the grooms' mothers and about 100 friends and other family members. Broadway Producer-director Richard Jay-Alexander and longtime friend to the couple sang Frank Loesser's 'What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?' at the ceremony along with custom lyrics and we've got the footage (thanks to Rothaus)!
