Broadway Celebrates Earth Day Concert

Broadway will once again raise its voice for the planet with the fourth Broadway Celebrates Earth Day concert!

Taking place in Times Square’s Pedestrian Plaza, this free outdoor concert from Broadway Green Alliance will feature live performances from Broadway stars including hosts Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley (Stars in the House), Tony Award Winner Shaina Taub (Suffs), Tony Award Nominee Stark Sands (Kinky Boots), Grammy Award nominee Merle Dandridge(Hadestown), and many more to be announced.

Alongside show-stopping Broadway headliners, audiences can look forward to performances from more than 75 students from the tri-state area, uniting to advocate for a healthier, just, and more sustainable future for all. Audiences can also learn from and be inspired by theatre-makers and environmental leaders at the forefront of this work, including Materials for the Arts, HeadCount, Final Strike Collaborative, and 2030orBust.

The concert serves as a marquee event for the NYC Department of Transportation’s city wide “Car-Free Earth Day” and will highlight the theatre community’s ongoing efforts to combat the climate crisis with actionable steps. Fans can tune in from around the world through the livestream hosted by Stars in the House.
