Rent Reunion Headlines Broadway's New Fest

Broadway's first immersive festival, 'The Festival,' is set to take place from August 14-16 at Kingston, New York's Hutton Brickyards. This unique three-day event promises an experience built entirely around musical theater, featuring performances from a star-studded lineup of Broadway artists.

A major highlight will be the 30th anniversary reunion of the original Broadway cast of 'Rent,' with almost the entire original company expected to attend. This gathering offers a rare opportunity for fans to see the iconic cast together again.

The festival is designed to foster a sense of community among theater lovers, akin to popular music festivals. Attendees can expect a 'Broadway Choose Your Own Adventure' experience with multiple performance spaces offering diverse shows, from main stage concerts to intimate campfire sing-alongs and comedy improv.

Beyond the performances, the event will also showcase local Hudson Valley food vendors and artisan markets, contributing to the immersive and discovery-driven atmosphere. Organizers aim to create a temporary city where every aspect of the guest journey is memorable, from transportation to unique on-site experiences.
