Broadway Comes To The Beach In Seaside Heights Monday

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ — If you love Broadway music and love an evening at the boardwalk, you will want to take a ride to Seaside Heights on Monday evening for Broadway Meets the Beach.

Broadway Meets the Beach is a free concert series with casts from Broadway shows who come and perform on the boardwalk.

On Monday, Aug. 6, the cast of the show "Anastasia" will perform on the Franklin Avenue stage. Also appearing the Original Calendar Girls, a dance troupe of former Rockettes who are now in their 80s and 90s; a children's dance troupe from Kick Performing Arts studio; the children's group Broadway Bound Dance Troupe; and the Big Blue Singing Crew, which has performed at Carnegie Hall and the White House.

The Donovan Catholic High School Show Choir also is set to perform.

Broadway Meets the Beach is the brainchild of Joseph John Brunetti, who invented the colorful, comfortable shoes everyne loves to hate: Crocs.

“My partner Dee Pellegrino and I are so grateful to Lyft and Keller Williams Reality, Mayor Vaz, and all the shop owners in Seaside Heights who all stepped up big time to make these amazing shows possible," Brunetti said in a news release. "They have donated thousands of dollars of prizes for the crowd."

The prizes that will be given out include free Broadway show tickets, dinners out, hotel stays and more.

If you're not able to make it to Monday night's performance by the cast of "Anastasia," Broadway Meets the Beach is scheduled for one more show, on Monday, Aug. 13 at 6 p.m. at the Franklin Avenue stage. That performance is scheduled to feature the Broadway casts of "School of Rock," "Beautiful: The Carole King Musical," "The Play That Goes Wrong" and much more, Brunetti said.
