Organizers have announced a new three-day event called The Festival, created as a destination weekend for Broadway fans. The gathering is scheduled for August 14 through 16 at Hutton Brickyards in Kingston, New York.<\/p>\n
The event will bring together theater performers, musicians, comedians, and fans across several stages and spaces. Plans include full performances, cabaret shows, acoustic sets, sing-alongs, dance parties, comedy, and unexpected collaborations.<\/p>\n
A major highlight will be a 30th-anniversary reunion featuring much of the original Broadway cast of Rent. The lineup also includes Audra McDonald, Kelli O\u2019Hara, Christopher Jackson, Ren\u00e9e Elise Goldsberry, Alex Newell, and other well-known stage performers.<\/p>\n
The format is designed to feel more like a major music festival than a traditional theater event. Fans will be able to move between performances and activities throughout the weekend, creating a more relaxed and interactive Broadway experience.<\/p>\n
The Festival is intended to become an annual event, giving theater audiences a new way to celebrate Broadway outside New York City\u2019s theater district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Organizers have announced a new three-day event called The Festival, created as a destination weekend for Broadway fans.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305857,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-305856","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305856","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305856"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305856\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305857"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305856"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305856"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305856"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
