Live from the West Side: Women of Broadway, a three-part virtual concert series, kicks off October 24 at 8 PM ET with two-time Tony winner Patti LuPone. The live streams, a co-production of Dallas Summer Musicals and Entertainment Benefits Group, are being shared by more than 20 nonprofit arts presenters around the country.
The series will continue November 14 with Tony winner Laura Benanti and conclude December 5 with Tony nominee Vanessa Williams. Expect show tunes, pop songs, and personal stories from each artist. Performances take place at The Shubert Virtual Studios on Manhattan’s West Side. At-home audience members will be invited to email questions to be answered during the concert.

We’re really excited to share them with musical theatre fans in Houston.”
