Broadway Summer
The show must go on! From Bucks County to the world, Bristol Riverside Theatre brings its Summer Music Fest into homes, vacation homes or anywhere its audience may be for 2020. This popular, annual summertime music series is one of the highlights for one of the region’s beloved theaters. For the new season, look for performances that can be watched anywhere with a solid internet connection and a music lover singing along behind the screen.
Tickets for the virtual Summer Music Fest are on sale now for August and September shows! The Summer Music Fest will include A Night at the Movies on August 5, 7 and 9. The series will conclude with the grand finale, the Broadway Summer Spectacular on September 2, 4 and 6. The first date for each show will be a live performance, and the additional two dates are recorded broadcasts from the first live performance. The band behind all shows will be led by BRT Artistic Director Keith Baker, who also serves as the host and Music Director for the shows. Performers will feature a who’s who from the local stage and from Broadway.
Tickets from the series will help keep the theatre’s doors open and raise funds to help the theatre reopen later this year. Tickets to the event cost $35. After each purchase, the buyer will be sent a YouTube Link prior to the performance. Tickets are available online now at BRTstage.org or over the phone at 215-785-0100. The Summer Music Fest is sponsored by William J. Salerno, Esq. and Juniper Communities with special thanks to The Grundy Foundation.
