A host of Broadway favorites—including Cats Tony winner Betty Buckley and Emmy winner Darren Criss—will head to Provincetown, Massachusetts, this summer as part of an expanded Broadway music series produced by Grammy and Emmy winner John McDaniel.
Presented by Post Office Cafe and Cabaret and Tin Pan Alley, John McDaniel’s Broadway Series will feature the talents of Tony winner Buckley June 23, Tony nominee Kate Baldwin June 28–29, Max Clayton July 6, Tony winner Alice Ripley July 19–20, Emmy winner Criss July 21, Nicholas Rodriguez July 26–27, and Tony nominee Liz Callaway August 30–31.
In addition to the singers appearing in the aforementioned series, two more Broadway actors will play the Post Office Cafe and Cabaret this summer: James Jackson, Jr. August 2–4 and October 11–12, and Tony nominee Lee Roy Reams September 2.
“The best of Broadway is coming to town,” McDaniel says in a statement. “I’m so thoroughly delighted to bring this remarkable lineup of talent to Provincetown. Each artist is a superstar in their own right; the chance for P-town audiences and visitors to see them command the stage of historic Town Hall, or create intimate moments in the Post Office Cafe’s cozy setting is sure to be thrilling all summer long.”
McDaniel is a Grammy and Emmy-winning music director, composer, director, arranger, orchestrator, and producer, who is an artistic director at the Tony-winning Eugene O’Neill Theater Center. Most recently, he arranged, orchestrated, and was the music director for Carol Burnett’s 90th birthday special on NBC, 90 Years of Laughter + Love, which won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Primetime Variety Special.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
