Ah Broadway on Broadway. One of my favorite events of the year.It’s the annual, free outdoor concert in Times Square that celebrates the upcoming theatre season and the season looks to be hoppin’!

Everything kicks off at 11:30 this Saturday in Times Square. I’m heading down - weather permitting - so maybe I’ll see you all there. Then again - 50,000 people? We just may miss each other in the crowds. Never fear, however. Pictures will be taken and posted if I get a celeb or two in my sites. Plenty of chances for that. The line up is packed full of them: Bebe Neuwirth, Charles Strouse, Stephen Bogardus, Sierra Boggess, Ashley Brown, Kerry Butler, Tevin Campbell, Carolee Carmello, Jeffry Denman, Kerry Ellis, Bailey Hanks, Cheyenne Jackson, Beth Leavel, Hunter Parrish, Kerry O’Malley, Tony Roberts, Tom Wopat and Ace Young.
