‘Broadway Loves the ’80s’ Concert Details Revealed

Forget VH1’s I Love the ‘80s – this is Broadway Loves the ‘80s! The fifth running of the show has just been announced, and Playbill has the skinny on the upcoming Broadway Loves the ‘80s Vol. 5: The Movie Edition concert. Scheduled to be performed on May 10 at New York City’s live music hotspot Joe’s Pub, Broadway Loves the ‘80s will be hosted by political satirist and Broadway performer (The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee) Mo Rocca.

The one-night special Broadway Loves the ‘80s Vol. 5: The Movie Edition will be directed by Jamie McGonnigal and Marty Thomas, and according to Playbill, this celebration will give viewers the chance to go “back to the big-haired she-boppin ‘80s with a tribute to the totally rad films of the most colorful decade yet.” The show will also have music direction by Ben Cohn and will feature choreography by Lauren Strigari, and this is one performance not to miss out on.

Paying homage to Generation X’s favorite decade, this year’s Broadway Loves the ‘80s will spotlight the incredible vocals of actors/actresses and singers Nick Adams, Todd Buonopane, Danny Calvert, Kristy Cates, Casey Erin Clark, Chris Dilley, Anthony Hollick, Randy Jones, Doug Kreeger, Leslie Kritzer, Chelsea Krombach, Joe Aaron Reid, Brandon Rubendall, Kate Shindle, Marty Thomas, Alysha Umphress and Noah Weisberg.
