With the many entertainment choices New York City has to offer, it can be difficult to make a choice. Look no further. "On Stage" host Frank DiLella has curated a list of “must-see” shows this week, directing you to the best of Broadway, off-Broadway and beyond.
BroadwayCon
Many consider it the ultimate gathering spot for theater fans — BroadwayCon is here Friday through Sunday at the New York Hilton Midtown. DiLella caught up with BroadwayCon creator Melissa Anelli, who stopped by the studio for a preview of what folks can expect from this year’s convention.
"If you are a fan of Broadway, you're not even going to know what to do or where to go throughout the whole weekend," Anelli said. "We have audio and photo experiences. We have opportunities for you to see your favorite broadway star or your favorite broadway show in a new light, in a funny light.
