For example, instead of remaining silent while waiting for autographs outside a theater’s stage door, Remy strikes up conversations with the strangers beside him.

“And now they’ve become friends for life,” he said. “So, that’s the beauty of what we get to do as human beings.”

Remy will also take the stage at the Spotlight himself, hosting the evening and opening with an original parody before performing “Being Alive” from “Company,” a song he chose to honor the concert’s focus on human connection.

Audiences can expect live music and performances with an immersive setup intended to make the audience feel like part of the show.

The fifth annual NextGen Spotlight takes place at 7 p.m. on Sept. 17, at 570 10th Ave.
