The special, which will air on TLC Nov. 26 at 8 PM ET, will also feature appearances by Broadway writers and performers Gloria Estefan, Christian Borle, Cicely Tyson, Whoopi Goldberg and others.
The First Lady invited a group of 40 talented high-school students to an all-day symposium at the White House covering careers in theatre. Their activities will be filmed by Zero Visibility/the Weinstein Co. and subsequently broadcast on the TLC special.
The symposium is scheduled to include master classes in acting, directing, hair/make-up/costume design, music composition and musical theatre, according to Variety, which said there will also be a Q&A with the Broadway stars and, in the evening, performances featuring material from musicals Finding Neverland, Fun Home, An American in Paris, On Your Feet!, School of Rock and Something Rotten!
