Boston-based Brown Box Theatre Project will bring its popular musical cabaret Broadway Jukebox Revolution to downtown Chestertown on Thursday evening, May 30, starting at 7:00 p.m. Hosted by the Chestertown Arts & Entertainment District and Main Street Chestertown, the FREE concert will be held outdoors in the 200 block of High Street, weather permitting. (In case of rain, the show moves inside the Garfield Center for the Arts.) Upon arriving, audience members can vote for the songs they want to hear. The show begins at 7:30. Some seating will be provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own comfortable chairs. Beer, wine, sodas and snacks will be offered for sale.
With a list of 30 songs to choose from, each Broadway Jukebox performance is unique based on the choices made by that night’s audience. People can vote for their top choices based on five categories: “Classics,” “Contemporary Musicals,” “Animation,” “Diva,” and “Written by Rockers.” Brown Box then curates that night’s show on the spot in this interactive, family-friendly evening.
