June 10, 2009 - PRLog -- For one night only - Monday June 22nd at 8pm  - Performers who got their start at Surflight Theatre (in Beach Haven, NJ) and have made it all the way from our small beach town,  to the bright lights of Broadway, will be back on LBI, for one night only, to showcase some of their favourite tunes!

The show will be hosted by SIRIUS/XM radio personality (and former Surflight Musical Director) Seth Rudetsky.  Known for his "deconstructions" of Broadway divas, Seth will be performing his stand up comedy inbetween the musical performances.

Scheduled to appear are Kelly Briggs (Cats, Les Miserables), Kelsey Fowler (Grey Gardens, Sunday In The Park, Mary Poppins), Victor Hawks (Urinetown, South Pacific), Leah Horowitz (Millie, LaCage, Les Miserables), current Surflight Musical Director Michael McAssey (Late Nite Comic), Matty Price (Gypsy), Rob Richardson (A Tale Of Two Cities), Surflight’s Artistic Director Steve Steiner (Anything Goes, Buddy, State Fair) and Elisa vanDuyne (Beauty & The Beast, 42nd Street). Musical Directors will be Michael McAssey and Jeremy Randall.

In 2007 he made his Broadway acting debut playing Sheldon (singing “Magic to Do” in a devastating unitard) in THE RITZ directed by Joe Mantello for The Roundabout Theater.  Off-Broadway he wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed RHAPSODY IN SETH (directed by Peter Flynn) at the Actors Playhouse and has also appeared on TV on LAW AND ORDER C.I. and had a recurring role on ALL MY CHILDREN.
