This exclusive event offered a sneak peek into the most anticipated shows of the fall and featured engaging discussions with the stars of “Chess,” including Michele, Tveit, and Nicholas Christopher.
The breakfast also highlighted the talented cast and creatives behind “The Queen of Versailles,” such as Chenoweth, F. Murray Abraham, Stephen Schwartz, Michael Arden, and Lindsey Ferrentino. Additionally, “Waiting for Godot” leads Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter were present, along with “Ragtime” stars Caissie Levy, Brandon Uranowitz, John Clay III, and director Lear DeBessonet.

He also extended his gratitude to Variety for providing a space for this passionate community to come together and enjoy a meal without worrying about the bill.
