Broadway Invades ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’

Next week is “On Broadway Week” on ABC’s morning talk show Live with Regis and Kelly, and several performers on the current Broadway circuit will join the two talk hosts Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa each day next week for Broadway-oriented segments on the program. Kicking off the Broadway-infused week of the morning talk show on Monday will be the cast of Disney’s musical Mary Poppins, and the program will include Ripa dressing up as the famous nanny Poppins and learning to fly.

Tuesday, the young and brilliant trio of Billy Elliot: The Musical’s David Alvarez, Trent Kowalik and Kiril Kulish will grace the set of Live with Regis and Kelly, and Wednesday Philbin will host the cast of the rock musical Rock of Ages, where he will join in on a performance of the ‘80s classic “Here I Go Again.” Thursday, the cast of the West Side Story revival will come to the studio and teach Ripa a choreographed dance, and Friday, on the last segment of “On Broadway Week,” Philbin will morph into the ogre Shrek when he visits the cast of Shrek the Musical at the Broadway Theatre in New York City.
