Playbill.com's new feature series, Their Favorite Things, asks members of the theatre community to share the Broadway performances that most affected them as part of the audience.
This week we spotlight the choices of Tony Award nominee Howard McGillin, who will appear in the upcoming Broadway production of Rebecca and will play the new Manhattan nightspot 54 Below Aug. 7-8 at 8 PM.
As previously announced, the singing actor will join Tony winner — and former Anything Goes co-star — Patti LuPone as well as Norm Lewis and Seth Rudetsky on Playbill's third Broadway on the High Seas cruise.
