To celebrate the return of The Great White Way, the League of American Theatres and Producers will present a free concert at the Marriott Marquis Theatre Friday, Nov. 30 at noon.

The one-time-only event will boast performances by Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Fantasia and Bob Martin. Cast members from nearly every Broadway show will also take part in the event, which celebrates the return of the Broadway theatre. Seth Rudetsky, currently part of the cast of The Ritz, will lead a full orchestra.

Doors will open to the public at 11:30 AM.

The Marriott Marquis is located at 1535 Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets. The theatre is the home of The Drowsy Chaperone, one of the shows that had been darkened by the 19-day stagehands strike.
