NYC…what is it about you?!?

🥂 Join us for a magical “Only in New York” evening, when Broadway’s original Annie, Andrea McArdle, returns for her Beechman Residency

❤️Andrea McArdle
🎭 Broadway On Demand

💥 Sat, Sept 12
💥 Sat, Oct 10
💥 Thurs, Nov 19
💥 Thurs, Dec 17

🎟️ www.TheBeechman.com

It’s an unscripted and unfiltered evening of amazing showbiz stories, legendary songs, that iconic voice!
Plus, each show is different with audience members picking story prompts, asking questions…it’s Broadway on Demand!

But don’t take our word for it - Stephen Mosher for BroadwayWorld writes:
✨ “An all-inclusive, immersive, thrill of a ride, musical memoir happening in real time…it’s freaking amazing!

✨ When an audience member pulls out the piece of paper that says “Poppers” and Miss Andrea dives face first into this CRAZY story, it’s a roller coaster ride of hilarity.  When another patron reaches in and calls out “Lea Michele” you have NO idea what the story is going to be - and it is a jaw dropper (the audience gasped in unison).  There are stories going back over the years to her times with Liberace, Carol Channing, Leslie Uggams, and the original cast of Annie…Honestly, she could just do an evening of stories and the audience would be happy.”

✨ It was truly a night that audience members will remember, and probably one they will return for - and lucky for them, they can, since Andrea McArdle’s BROADWAY ON DEMAND is a monthly date at The Laurie Beechman.

✨ EVERYONE IS GOING TO WANT TO GET THERE FOR THIS ONE. The wild thing is out of the box, and she’s making every moment, musical or otherwise, iconic.” Stephen Mosher for BroadwayWorld
