About
Casts from Broadway and Off-Broadway shows perform their biggest numbers on the Bryant Park lawn at lunchtime on four summer Thursdays — expected.
Where else do you hear current Broadway casts sing their showstoppers for free, outdoors, on a lunch break? The lineup usually mixes four or five shows per week, from long-runners to the season's new hits. Arrive by noon — the lawn fills fast. Cast members often stick around after, so it doubles as an easy meet-the-performers moment.
What to expect
A one-hour lunchtime show on the lawn stage with numbers from four or five productions, hosted by a radio personality; free lawn and gravel seating.
