'Future Broadway Stars' to Perform in Ridgewood

On Monday, April 7, at 7:00 pm, Ben Franklin Middle School in Ridgewood will be buzzing with the sounds of Broadway, as close to 100 local students from high school and middle schools all over Bergen County gather to raise funds for Covenant House New Jersey and the homeless youth that they serve. 

“This will be my second year,” says Miranda McKeon, Ben Franklin Middle School 6th grader, who was on Broadway herself this past fall in Little Miss Sunshine. 

“Performing in Little Miss Sunshine was like a dream come true and I want to do everything I can to help the homeless youth in New Jersey make their dreams come true too.”

A Night of FUTURE Broadway Stars is an evening of song and dance featuring talented teen performers, as well as Broadway stars, Sally Ann Skoric (Victor, Victoria) and Mark and Christy McVey (Les Miserables , Tommy), John Treacy Egan (Nice Work If You Can Get It and The Producers) will be hosting the evening and sharing his amazing talents with the crowd. Also performing will be groups from Stage Right, Art of Motion, Broadway Theater Workshops, McBrayer Vocal Studio, and the AcaBellas and Maroon Men from Ridgewood High School.

“My part is to work with a talented young lady from Covenant House to help prepare her to sing with students from my studio on April 7,” Ridgewood voice teacher, Susan McBrayer tells us. 

“I am so inspired by her courage, and am so grateful to be a part of such a meaningful evening. Please join us and support all the kids.” 

In its fourth year, the event celebrates kids helping kids and all proceeds benefit the programs at Covenant House New Jersey. To purchase your reserved tickets, visit CHNJ.BookTix.com. Tickets are $25, $20 for students and seniors.
