The Broadway at Birdland concert series was over the moon to present internet sensation Randy Rainbow with his Election Eve Party at the historic music room on Monday night. The extravaganza was directed by Victor Wisehart, with musical direction by Tedd Firth. BroadwayWorld has photos from the concert below!

The sold-out house was delirious with Rainbow's election updates, excruciatingly funny parodies, non-partisan insults and first-rate cast, which included Broadway stars Julie Halston, Max von Essen, Matt Doyle, Marty Thomas, Carrie Manolakos, Will and Anthony Nunziata, Christina Bianco, Michelle Collins, Julie James, Laura Osnes, John Pinto, Jr., Emily Goglia, Gerard Salvador, Jennifer Foote, Travis Ward-Osborne, and Borris York.

Randy Rainbow is a comedian, actor, writer, host and internet celebrity best known for his series of satirical videos, including "Randy Rainbow is Dating Mel Gibson," "Randy Rainbow Works at Chi-fil-A," and "The Kim Davis Cell Block Tango." His political spoofs (including "Randy Rainbow Interviews Donald Trump") have garnered international acclaim and millions of views. His song parody "GOP Dropout" series was called "the best thing about the GOP race" by Dan Savage. His videos have appeared regularly on popular blogs Towleroad, Queerty, Perez Hilton and VH1's Best Week Ever. Randy was a columnist for HX Magazine, one of New York's most prominent gay publications, and has also written for Kathy Griffin.

The Broadway at Birdland concert series takes place every week on the stage of the historic music room, located at 315 West 44 Street in the heart of New York's Theater District.
