President To Attend ‘Broadway For Biden’ Fundraising Concert Featuring Josh Groban, Ben Platt, Sara Bareilles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cynthia Erivo & Other Top Stage Stars

A Broadway fundraising concert next month for President Joe Biden will feature some of theater’s biggest stars, including Josh Groban, Ben Platt, Sara Bareilles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Cynthia Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr. and Laura Benanti, among others, with the president himself in attendance.

Although at least one detail is being kept under wraps for the moment – the Broadway venue in Times Square has not been identified – the date has been set for Monday night, September 18, with ticket prices ranging from $250 for rear mezzanine seats to $7,500 for orchestra center front. The seating chart at the ticket website indicates that the concert will take place at an indoor theater rather than outdoors in Times Square.
