Stars in the House, the daily live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, offers a second Best of the Vote-a-Thon stream November 13 at 8 PM.
Rudetsky and Wesley will look back at their November 3 Election Day 10-hour marathon, which featured appearances from dozens of stage and screen favorites, including Betty Buckley, Josh Groban, Chita Rivera, Annette Bening, Karen Olivo, Vanessa Williams, Bellamy Young, Laurie Metcalf, and Brenda Braxton.
The duo will also be joined by Obie-winning actor Darius de Haas (Shuffle Along…, Marie Christine, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), who performed during the original broadcast.
Stars in the House launched March 16 to promote support for The Actors Fund and its services in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. It has also raised funds for the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
