The tradition continues! The 41st annual A CAPITOL FOURTH, America's Independence Day celebration on PBS, hosted by Vanessa Williams, airs tonight at 8pm ET. Check back right here at BroadwayWorld to watch the stream.

Planning has been underway for many months for A CAPITOL FOURTH to be a pre-recorded show due to the pandemic with a live fireworks presentation, in lieu of the traditional live concert on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. The nation's 245th birthday celebration will feature Williams hosting and performing from Washington, D.C. All-new pre-taped performances from locations across the country will feature top stars from pop, country, R&B, classical and Broadway. Capping off the concert broadcast will be live coverage of the fireworks display over our nation's iconic skyline captured by multiple cameras stationed around the city.
