NextGen Spotlight

Witness the next generation of Broadway take center stage when NextGen Spotlight returns to The Green Room 42 on September 29, hosted by Tony Award nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers. The evening features rising stars sharing songs and stories in an intimate benefit concert, presented by Broadway Cares’ NextGen Advocates. 

Directed and curated by Jelani Remy, who recently wrapped a celebrated run in Back to the Future: The Musical, the one-night-only performance features the future of Broadway sharing their hearts alongside the theater legends and mentors that believe in them.

Rogers garnered widespread acclaim this year for her Broadway debut as Betty Boop in BOOP! The Musical, which earned her a Tony nomination. She’s set to star as Olive Ostrovsky in the anticipated revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, coming to Off-Broadway’s New World Stages this fall.

Special guests will be announced in the coming weeks. Last year’s benefit featured performances by Amber Ardolino, Ali Louis Bourzgui, Afra Hines, Tony nominee Norm Lewis, Jimmy Award winner Lauren A. Marchand, Tony nominee Joy Woods and Turner Riley.
