There's no business like show business, and “Stars In The House" co-hosts Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley have proven that! The moment the theaters on Broadway went dark, the two put their heads together to find a way to give back, and provide much-needed entertainment to the community that they love.
After hundreds of shows, thousands of guests, and millions of viewers, the impact of “Stars In The House" cannot be overstated, as it celebrates raising $1 MILLION for The Actors Fund. Donations from all around the world flooded in as people tuned in nearly every night to revisit beloved Broadway shows, television series, and films with the stars who made them, and have their spirits lifted by this one-of-a-kind series.
Rudetsky and Wesley will mark this unbelievable accomplishment with a very special IN PERSON “Stars In The House" show on Wednesday, June 30 at 8pm ET at Asylum NYC.
They will be surrounded by fully vaccinated “Stars In The House" staff, family and friends who will get to witness the first ever IN-PERSON broadcast, featuring appearances by Brenda Braxton, Josh Bryant, Andréa Burns, Liz Callaway, Paul Castree, Kristin Chenoweth, Darius de Haas, Colin Donnell, Dr. Jon LaPook, Beth Leavel, Andrea Martin, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Lisa Mordente, Patti Murin, Jack Plotnick, Chita Rivera, Marc Shaiman, Pearl Sun, Nina West, and more! It is sure to be an epic celebration filled with colorful conversations and of course, live music!
For this milestone occasion of raising $1 million for The Actors Fund, a longtime friend of “Stars In The House" will be matching all donations on June 30 up to $15,000, in honor of all the people who make theater happen, on stage and off—including the behind-the-scenes staff and volunteers of “Stars In The House!"
“Thanks to the enormous generosity of our viewers from all over the globe, we couldn't be more excited to celebrate reaching the $1 million mark raised for The Actors Fund on June 30 with our very first IN-PERSON show," said Rudetsky and Wesley. “And what better way to celebrate this moment than with a ton of live music from our Broadway friends, surrounded by the volunteers and staff of Stars In The House who made it all happen these past 15 months."
The episode will also livestream at 8pm ET on the Stars In The House YouTube channel, and StarsInTheHouse.com, and fans will be able to ask questions live, and continue to donate.
