About The Show
Sirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky is bringing his Broadway concert series back to White Plains!
This time, Rudetsky is teaming up with Tony Award winner Jessie Mueller (Beautiful, Waitress, Carousel) for a one-night-only special-event concert that will be filled with intimate, funny, behind-the-scenes stories mixed with incredible performances of the songs Mueller has performed on Broadway and beyond. The set list will have Mueller recreating show-stopping performances from her unique Broadway career, like “She Used to Be Mine” from Waitress, “If I Loved“ from Carousel and, of course, the title song and multiple hits from Beautiful, The Carole King Musical, the show for which she won the Tony Award!
Seth’s Broadway Concerts are always one-of-a-kind because they’re never fully planned in advance. In a past concert, Rudetsky remarked that Mueller should have been in Les Miz, and as soon as he started playing the intro to Eponine’s classic song, Mueller launched into an unrehearsed and amazing performance of On My Own. And recently in Vegas, Mueller leaned over his shoulder and read his sheet music because he insisted she sing the title song from The Phantom of The Opera! Who knows what will happen at the performance you attend!
This spontaneous evening of show-stopping stories and hit songs will also feature Mueller recreating her triumph when she put her own spin on Miss Adelaide at the Kennedy Center’s Guys And Dolls, and Seth will be guest-starring as Nathan Detroit! If you love amazing musicians and sassy comedy, come see this one-night-only event!
