So many great Broadway stars came together in New York City this week to film a performance to give people hope for the return of live theater!

Bernadette Peters and Andrew Rannells were among the stars who participated in NYCNext’s A Moment for Broadway event on Wednesday (October 7) in NYC’s Times Square.

Also in attendance were Gavin Creel, Telly Leung, Carolee Carmello, Norm Lewis, Javier Munoz, Joel Grey, Eden Espinosa, Sierra Boggess, Kate Baldwin, Stark Sands, Jennifer Damiano, Ari’el Stachel, Andrea Burns, among others.

Some unfortunate news was just revealed about Broadway.

NBC New York is reporting that the Broadway League is going to announce on Friday that Broadway will not return until May 30, 2021, at the earliest.

Broadway shows have been shut down since March 13, 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. The shutdown was supposed to end in January 2021, but now will be extended as the pandemic is still not under control and it’s not safe for thousands of people to sit in an indoor theater together.

The productions that come back to Broadway will return across a series of rolling dates.

Sebastian Stan and Tom Hiddleston walk the red carpet at the opening night performance of the Broadway play Sea Wall/A Life on Thursday (August 8) at the Hudson Theatre in New York City.

The guys were at the event to support their fellow Marvel star Jake Gyllenhaal. He just played the character Mysterio in Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Tom was joined at the show by his co-stars from the upcoming Broadway production of Betrayal – Charlie Cox and Zawe Ashton.

Other stars in attendance include Jake‘s former Sunday in the Park with George co-star Annaleigh Ashford, Kate Walsh, John Mulaney, Margarita Levieva, designer Zac Posen, Broadway star Norm Lewis, and producer Jordan Roth.

Norm Lewis is currently playing the role of Caiaphas in the NBC production of Jesus Christ Superstar Live and here’s what you should know about the actor!

The 54-year-old Tony-nominated actor made his Broadway debut in 1993 in The Who’s Tommy and went on to star in shows such as Miss Saigon, Side Show, Chicago, Les Miserables, The Little Mermaid, Porgy and Bess, The Phantom of the Opera, and Sweeney Todd.

Norm most recently starred on Broadway in the revival of Once On This Island, which will likely sweep at the Tonys this year.

In Jesus Christ Superstar, Norm‘s character is the priest who organizes a plot to kill Jesus.

Ben Platt walks the red carpet while attending the 2017 Drama League Awards Ceremony at the Marriott Marquis Times Square on Friday (May 19) in New York City.
