I didn't see this posted anywhere, so I apologize if it has been, but there's a concert streaming tonight from the Lyric Chicago featuring several Broadway stars like Gavin Creel and Norm Lewis, among others.  The song list is out and it looks awesome!

I liked it a lot. Great song choices. Singers on a stage, not heads in boxes. And of course great singing.

What is the running time of the show? The show runs approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one 15-minute intermission. https://www.lyricopera.org/shows/upcoming/2020-21/the-new-classics-songs-from-the-new-golden-age-of-musical-theater/program-notes/slope

Is Lyric no longer presenting “Broadway at Lyric?” They usually present a Broadway musical in the spring and they haven’t made an announcement for one yet.

This was an online only event in 2021. They hadn’t returned to in-person audiences yet.

If it were to be part of their 24/25 season then going from past years the season announcement might not come until March.

From online opera chat boards, it seems that having a Broadway selection as part of the season has been very unpopular with their subscriber base, even if they do end up selling enough individual tickets for all performances. But they get subscriber money early, so it is important, especially with all arts groups everywhere still rebuilding from the pandemic.
