All Star Quarantunes Will Broadcast LIVE from Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theater Today at 5PM Eastern

Big news:

Uber agent Richard Weitz and his daughter Demi are streaming an all star Quarantunes today at 5pm Eastern LIVE from Broadway’s New Amsterdam Theater.

Their year long fundraising effort for many charities is today for Broadway Cares. The Weitzes will pass the $22 million mark. Amazing!

Richard writes: “Tonight marks a milestone as we try to surpass $22 million and we have so many once in a lifetime surprises planned you won’t want to miss it. So if you or your spouse or your significant other, partner or child wants to watch the Masters let them while you either juggle watching both or just enjoy the amazing performances we are going to have to honor the Broadway Community.”

I will offer a report later on the what what and why.

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
