Stars in the House—the live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley—celebrates Broadway understudies, whose talent and commitment have helped Broadway stay in business during the pandemic, January 31.
Stars in the House launched March 16, 2020, and has raised more than $1 million to support The Actors Fund and its services in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. It has also raised funds for the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund in support of the Black Lives Matter movement as well as Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
New shows—streaming Monday evenings at 8 PM ET—feature performances by stars of stage and screen, in conversation and song with Rudetsky and Wesley. Peter Flynn serves as streaming director.
The stage show features favorite characters like Elmo, Cookie Monster, and Grover performing well-known songs from the TV show plus new ones by Tom Kitt, Helen Park, and Nate Edmondson.
The prolific costume designer walks through his career, from his beginnings on Project Runway to how he didn't know much about Sweeney Todd before he signed on.
