After a sold-out run at the New York Theatre Workshop, the musical "Sing Street" was set to make its Broadway debut this month. But dreams of the Great White Way had to be put on hold--as so much has--due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yet indefinite postponement--with cast members now scattered throughout the U.S. and overseas--doesn’t necessarily translate into silent waiting. In a nod to the “show must go on” mantra, the cast will unite online for a one-night benefit performance.
Aiding and abetting this production, "Sing Street: Grounded--At Home With The Broadway Cast," which takes place tonight (Thursday, 4/30) from 6:30-7 pm ET on Facebook Live on Sing Street’s Broadway Facebook page, are ad agency Droga5 and production house SMUGGLER which have not just created the marketing campaign for the performance but also helped the "Sing Street" ensemble with every aspect of creating and producing a Broadway performance from home, from the look and feel of the show, the technical aspects of bringing it to life, and the performances of the actors to amplification ideas that are being unveiled across daytime talk shows, and social media platforms like TikTok. At every touchpoint, Droga5 and SMUGGLER (with its director, Henry-Alex Rubin) have been collaborating with "Sing Street" cast, director Rebecca Taichman, and producers to help create a performance true to the spirit of the theatrical production.
Here’s a sneak peak video at what may be in store this evening.
