Nassau Native Seth Rudetsky Brings His Show To The Madison Theatre
The show is a loving and funny deconstruction of Broadway and its performers.

The Madison Theatre at Molloy College will present "Seth Rudetsky’s Big Fat Broadway Show" for one hilarious and insightful afternoon only! This national one-man show will make its stop at the Madison Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 10 at 3 p.m.
An Emmy award-winning writer, radio host and accompanist to the stars, Rudetsky will take the audience on a journey that mocks and deconstructs Broadway musicals along with the inside scoop on vocalists like Cher, Madonna, Bea Arthur and Patti LuPone in this 90-minute show that's part critique and part comedy. He might even throw in some Broadway history and trivia for fun.
"Seth Rudetsky’s Big Fat Broadway Show" features him lip syncing, dancing, lecturing and laughing to his own personal audio and video collection. He’ll have something to say about Cher playing four roles in the "West Side Story" TV special. He’ll explain the stage to screen transition of "Evita’s" leading ladies and analyze the hits sang by stars that should have never made it past the producer.
