BroadwayCon returns January 27–29, 2017, at the Javits Center. Learn more about the various ticket packages here.
Joining the First Look lineup are the musicals Bandstand and Come From Away, as well as the timely new play Significant Other. The program will also showcase the previously announced musical Anastasia.
Representing the Swing-era musical Bandstand will be the show’s co-stars, Laura Osnes and Corey Cott, as well as director-choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler, who is hot off his Tony win for Hamilton.
Currently confirmed for Come From Away, a new musical that tells the story of travelers stranded on September 11, 2001, are cast member Jenn Colella and musical supervisor Ian Eisendrath.
Significant Other, the new Joshua Harmon play about New York City twenty-somethings, will feature cast members Gideon Glick, Lindsay Mendez, Barbara Barrie, Sas Goldberg, and Rebecca Naomi Jones, as well as playwright Harmon, and director Trip Cullman.
The First Look presentation also includes a look at the expanded and re-envisioned stage adaptation of the 1997 animated film Anastasia. Christy Altomare and Derek Klena, who star as Anya and Dmitry, respectively, will preview musical moments from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical.
