With the return of theatre comes some of the industry's most beloved events, such as the outdoor musical theatre festival Elsie Fest, taking place August 29 at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. As previously announced, the lineup features Tina: The Tina Turner Musical Tony nominee Adrienne Warren, Dear Evan Hansen star Jordan Fisher, Emmy winner Darren Criss (co-founder of the NYC event), and more.
