NYMF Hoedown (Musical Theater I Wish I Could Quit You)

Dust off that ten-gallon hat and get ready for an evening of hootin’ and hollerin’ at the NYMF Hoedown (Musical Theater I Wish I Could Quit You) Benefit, featuring Broadway celebrities. Mosey right on up to the bar and our kindly bartenders will pour you and your favorite Broadway celebrities what’s on tap. Get ready to let everyone know who’s the most rooten tootenist cowpoke as guests play one on one with the likes of Skylar Astin (Spring Awakening and the upcoming “Hamlet 2”), Nick Blaemire (Glory Days, Cry Baby), Barrett Foa (Avenue Q), Krysta Rodriguez (Spring Awakening, A Chorus Line, and In the Heights), Lauren Pritchard (Spring Awakening), and Jason Tam (A Chorus Line, “One Life to Live,” and NYMF’s own Yellow Wood) in one of our exciting country fair games, including pie eating competitions, bean bag tosses, and the outlawed Lasso a Star challenge. Cowboys and cowgirls will have a chance to sidestep together in some country line dancing and get their photo taken with their favorite celebrity in our photo booth. Stay tuned in the coming days for many more surprise guest announcements. It’s the most fun you’ll have this side west of the… well, the East River.

The NYMF Hoedown is being hosted by On Board, NYMF’s new young patron outreach initiative. On Board’s mission is to cultivate and empower young audiences to take an active stand to support the arts, and in particular NYMF’s mission of nurturing new musical theater talent.
