Just Some of Our Favorite Moments From Stars in the House's All-Day Vote-a-Thon | Playbill

Stars in the House Just Some of Our Favorite Moments From Stars in the House's All-Day Vote-a-Thon The 10-hour streaming event features appearances from several stage and screen favorites.

Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley have gone live nearly every day since the theatre shutdown to offer some light, hope, and belting during the pandemic, but they perhaps take on their most ambitious stream November 3 to commemorate Election Day. Join them for the special, 10-hour "Vote-a-Thon" edition of Stars in the House.

The streaming event, scheduled to run until 7 PM, features several stage and screen stars who stop by from their homes around the world, their polling places, and more. During their appearances the artists are offering tales and tunes, revisiting performance clips from Rudetsky's trove, and getting out one final plea to make your voice heard.

Check out just some of our favorite moments (so far!) below, and tune in right here on Playbill.
