HAPPY HOLIDAYS from all of us at Broadway Sessions! We recently celebrated the season with our annual All Star Holiday Show. Broadway Sessions guests returned to share their favorite holiday tunes. Enjoy these highlights from The Book of Mormon's Bud Weber, Kinky Boots' Delaney Westfall, Hamilton's Erin Clemons, Spongebob's Jai'len Josey, Aladdin's Juwan Crawley and Deonte L. Warren, Bandstand's Mary Callanan, Wicked's Emma Hunton, Hairspray's Michelle Dowdy and Sessions team members Michael Kirk Lane and Joseph Barry Strickland and our amazingly talented Rising Star Jordan Grizzard. And of course our signature 12 Days of Christmas, albeit a particularly dirty rendition this year. We wish the very best of the holidays and a very happy New Year!

BROADWAY SESSIONS is described as an evening of musical performances, games and open mic featuring a new Broadway guest each week. The show is created and hosted by Ben Cameron (Bway Wicked, Aida and Footloose) and features musical director Joshua Stephen Kartes on piano. This Thursday night, December 14th, Broadway Sessions welcomesback past guests to perform their favorite holiday tunes.

WICKED!!!! You tingled didn't you? It's hard not to. No modern musical has had quite the impact that this mega musical has had all over the world. And I won't lie to ya, Wicked hold's a very special place in my heart (listen to track #2 of your cast album, you may hear a familiar voice asking 'Glinda, is it true you were her friend?') But humble bragging aside, Wicked is nothing short of a phenomenon. So this week we've compiled some of our favorite Broadway Sessions performances from Stephen Schwartz's box office blockbuster! 'The Wizard and I,' 'Popular,' 'As Long As Your Mine,' 'No Good Deed,' 'Defying Gravity' and even a cliff notes version of ensembling in Wicked w/ myself and original caster Marcus Choi, it's just too good…or is it Wicked?
