What do you do when the Governor changes the rules and you have live concerts booked THIS WEEKEND? That's what the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana asked themselves yesterday when they received a mandate to reduce their scheduled, socially distanced audience of 400 to 50 overnight.
What do you do? You make it a worldwide stream instead. The show, On Broadway, is now open to Broadway-loving audiences around the world. An entire household can buy a ticket for $35.
The Embassy Theatre presents On Broadway this Sunday, November 15, at 2PM EST and 7PM EST as virtual performances. This show's presenting sponsor is the Barbara Bradley Baekgaard Family Foundation.With an ever-changing set list, On Broadway highlights long-running standards like Phantom of the Opera, Chicago, and The Lion King, as well as the newest blockbusters The Book of Mormon, Dear Evan Hansen, Moulin Rouge, and even the sold out smash hit, Hamilton! Starring New York City's most sought after talent, On Broadway is a celebration of the most current Broadway season, sung by the stars themselves! The cast includes the following performers: Jessica Hendy (Cats, Amour, Aida), Alan H. Green (Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, School of Rock, Sister Act, Play On!,) Liisi LaFontaine (35th Anniversary production of Dreamgirls in London), and Jacob Haren (Book of Mormon). In the future, the touring show will include music from other highly anticipated productions as they become available: The Music Man, SIX, Mrs. Doubtfire, Company, Jagged Little Pill, West Side Story and Diana.
The Embassy is a 92-year-old nonprofit theater that immediately found solutions to stay operational during this pandemic while still meeting community needs. As a part of the programming adjustments, it has been working with local arts organizations and peer cultural groups to present entertainment and fulfill gathering needs while accommodating social distancing and other board of health guidelines. Bringing On Broadway to this region was an additional way to meet northeast Indiana's thirst for Broadway during a time when most tours have been postponed.
