NYMF Hoedown (or, Musical Theatre I Wish I Could Quit You)

Dust off that ten gallon hat and get ready for an evening of hootin' and hollerin' as NYMF shuts down Spanky's BBQ for The NYMF Hoedown. Mosey right on up to the bar and our kindly bartenders will pour you and your favorite Broadway celebrities what's on tap. Get ready to let everyone know who's the most rooten tootenist cowpoke as guests play one on one with the likes of Skylar Astin (Spring Awakening and the upcoming Hamlet 2), Nick Blaemire (Glory Days, Cry Baby), Andrew Call (Glory Days, Cry Baby), Megan McGinnis (Little Women, Les Miserables), Lauren Pritchard (Spring Awakening), Krysta Rodriguez (In The Heights, Spring Awakening), Jason Tam (A Chorus Line), and Kirsten Wyatt (Grease) in one of our exciting country fair games, including pie eating competitions, bean bag tosses, and the outlawed Lasso a Star challenge. Cowboys and cowgirls will have a chance to sidestep together in some country line dancing and get their photo taken with their favorite celebrity in our photo booth. Musical cowpoke Joe Iconis and friends will also be on hand to play a set of his rockin' tunes!

Stay tuned in the coming days for many more surprise guest announcements. It's most fun you'll have this side west of the East River.
