Audience at the last years' Broadway in Bryant Park

The best of Broadway is FREE on six consecutive Thursdays this summer with “106.7 Lite fm Presents Broadway in Bryant Park 2009” – a lunchtime series that kicks off on Thursday July 9th at 12:30PM on the Bryant Park Stage. The series, sponsored by Bank of America and State Farm, will feature live performances excerpted from big-name on- and off-Broadway shows for open-air enjoyment during lunch hour.

Lite fm’s on-air personalities will do hosting honors. Bye Bye Birdie star John Stamos will stop by on August 13th to close the series.

Now in its eighth year, “106.7 Lite fm Presents Broadway in Bryant Park” will run from 12:30-1:30pm on Thursday July 9, 16, 23 and 30 and August 6 and 13. Bryant Park is located behind the New York Public Library on 6th Avenue between 40th and 42nd street. Seating is first come-first-served on the lawn.

As a bonus, Bank of America will award a year’s worth of free Broadway tickets to one lucky winner at the end of the series in August. Anyone can enter to win simply by visiting the Bank of America tent on the Bryant Park fountain terrace from 11am-2pm on any of the six Broadway in Bryant Park dates.

The tentative schedule is listed below. For details, schedule updates and a chance to win free Broadway tickets, log onto 1067litefm.com and keep your radios tuned to 106.7FM.
