Theater Lovers Can Ring In The New Year In Any Time Zone With A Free 25-Hour Online Musical Showcase

After the unprecedented success of their Halloween fundraiser for New York City's out-of-work immersive theater professionals, the folks behind The Lost Halloween are planning a unique New Year's Eve event to ring in 2021 with friends across the boundaries of time and place. All over the world, people are facing the end of 2020 in isolation and without their community and loved ones as the pandemic rages on. Looking towards 2021, the promise of a new year is worth celebrating.

The Lost New Year's is a free 25-hour virtual Zoom party, ringing in the New Year from 5:30 AM on Thursday, December 31st EST through 6:30 AM on Friday, January 1st EST. Spectacular musical numbers by some of NYC's most talented performers will air for 30 minutes before midnight. After the virtual ball drops, we'll party together at a virtual post-midnight celebration with a sizzling DJ set and spotlighted dancers for 30 more minutes. Then, they start counting down to midnight all over again, in every time zone across the world! There will be some variation across the 25 hours, and they suggest staying for up to four "midnight" hours if you really want to catch all the different performances.

The Zoom link will be active throughout the entire 25-hour experience so people can meet their friends all over the world at The Lost New Year's party by logging into the Zoom feed together any time they would like. Come have a drink and ring in 2021 with your friends, family, and loved ones, and be together no matter where you're hunkering down for 2020.
