BroadwayCon Moves Location at the Last Minute

by Chris Peterson, OnStage Blog Founder

It was announced today that BroadwayCon changing venues with just a week to go before the event starts. Organizers announced that it will be moving from the New York Midtown Hilton to the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.

Personally, I think this is a good move considering the Marquis is in the center of the theatre district and a better overall venue.

Event organizers did not give a reason for the last-minute change but offered information for those who may want to change their hotel accommodations.

“You are welcome to keep or cancel your hotel accommodations at the New York Hilton Midtown if you so desire. The Hilton Midtown will refund deposits for cancellations made 72 hours prior to the first day of your reservation. For example, if your reservation starts on Friday, February 7, you should plan to cancel prior to Tuesday, February 4. Please note that the New York Hilton Midtown will not automatically cancel your reservation. You must do this yourself.”

The annual gathering of Broadway’s biggest fans begins on Feb 7th thru the 9th. Some of the newly announced panels include the Seussical reunion panel “Hats Off to Seussical: A 25-Year Reunion,” featuring Lynn Ahrens, Stephen Flaherty, Kevin Chamberlin, Janine LaManna, Michele Pawk, and others, “Gone Too Soon: Tammy Faye, Swept Away, and Lempika,” in which actors and creatives from shows that closed quickly discuss their experiences, and “Crossing the Curtains: Latin American Voices and the Broadway Exchange Experience,” featuring the first Latin American Billy Flynn, creators of original musicals from Peru and Mexico, and more.

Lin-Manuel Miranda will appear for a “spotlight conversation event” that includes special guest appearances and performances.
