Broadway Votes will keep Seth, James, and viewers up to date with election reminders and factoids as the day goes on. And with Joy to the Polls, Seth and James will spotlight pop-up musical performances happening outside polling places in North Carolina, Arizona, Pennsylvania.

“We were so moved by the reactions to our Vote-A-Thon in 2020 that we wanted to continue the tradition and provide a place where people can go to get away from some of the stress of election day, but still stay informed and most importantly - be entertained!” said Seth and James. “Our live event is the perfect way to pass the time while you’re in line at the polls or waiting for the results. We are so grateful to those in the community who will be joining us to share their voting experiences and sing and/or dance up a storm!”

“People in the performing arts and entertainment industry are still struggling to get back on their feet after the last few years of the pandemic and work stoppages. The Entertainment Community Fund is here to help those in need, and we in turn continue to rely on the generosity of others to sustain that support,” said Joe Benincasa, President and CEO of the Entertainment Community Fund. “Seth and James have kept the focus on how the Fund helps others since the launch of Stars in the House in March 2020, and their brilliant and entertaining outreach is deeply, profoundly and sincerely appreciated.”
