One Night Only: The Best of Broadway Comes to NBC Hosted by Tina Fey

We wouldn’t say 2020 has been the best year ever, but there have been some moments here and there that have lifted the spirit.  For some, one of those moments will premiere tomorrow on NBC. Broadway Cares and NBC have partnered to bring us the goods and a nice dose of holiday cheer! A 2 hour special full of some of Your favorite Broadway productions. The special titled, “One Night Only: The Best of Broadway” is hosted by Tina Fey and will feature shows such as Chicago, Mean Girls, Jagged Little Pill and Ain’t Too Proud! There will also be appearances and performances from some of our favorite celebs. A little birdie told me that Patti Labelle would be there to bless us, and I am ABSOLUTELY ready to receive every bit of that! 

This event is a benefit for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids. NBCUniversal will also be making its own donation to the cause. During this time of uncertainty and strife it’s important to know and see that things will be fine in the end because we have each other. Putting these actors back on a national stage after such a long time away is a reminder that even though the country has been on a long term pause, there are plenty of things to be grateful for. Grab your hot chocolate and cookies and tune in Thursday, December 10 at 8/7c at 8 PM EST to witness some of Broadway’s amazing talent.

Drew Shade is a visionary creative force at the intersection of Black theatre, media, and culture. As the Founder and Creative Director of Broadway Black, Off-Book: The Podcast, and The Antonyo Awards, he champions artistic excellence and amplifies the voices of Black theatre artists with intention, heart, and unapologetic pride. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Playbill, Deadline, The Observer, and Apple TV’s Dear…, and he's collaborated with brands and institutions such as NBC, BET, Audible, Universal Pictures, SheaMoisture, The Public Theater, Signature Theatre, National Black Theatre, and more. He has also served as a cultural consultant and curator for countless Broadway productions for over a decade — establishing himself as a trusted voice and tastemaker in theatre and media. In addition to his work behind the scenes, Shade is a performer and creative artist in his own right, with credits including Classical Theatre of Harlem’s The First Noel at The Apollo, The Preacher’s Wife musical at The Alliance Theatre, and a Sondheim tribute concert at Carnegie Hall led by Tituss Burgess. He’s also lent his voice to campaigns for Google and continues to explore visual storytelling through photography — from red carpets to press coverage. Rooted in joy, justice, and the belief that Black theatre is both legacy and revolution, Shade continues to build platforms and shine light where it’s long been overdue — so Black artists are seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms. “Have a belief in yourself that is bigger than anyone’s disbelief.” – August Wilson
