Broadway-Talk Live Network has announced the launch of Broadway’s Masked Singer, a new fundraising show for BC/EFA, which will be broadcast in three installments later this month. The miniseries premieres April 26 at 8 p.m. ET and continues April 28 and April 30 at the same time on BC/EFA’s YouTube channel. Inspired by the Fox-TV reality competition show, Broadway’s Masked Singer features eight leading ladies (four each in the first two episodes) who compete while disguised in unique costumes.
Viewers will determine each episode’s outcome by voting with donations to Broadway Cares in the name of their favorite masked singer. After each performer has sung, the contestant with the lowest donation will be unmasked and eliminated. The remaining performers will sing again, with another contestant unmasked and eliminated in the following episode. Four singers will compete in the finale during the third episode.
The series is hosted by Michael Hull and Dylan Bustamante, co-founders of Broadway-Talk Live Network, with guest panels that include theater industry Natalie Weiss, Ben Cameron, Jackie Cox, Hayley Podschun, Marty Thomas, Marissa Rosen, Nick Cearley, Abby DePhillips, Patrick Goodwin, Felicia Fitzpatrick, Christopher Metzger-Timson, Kevin Metzger-Timson, and Drew Wutke.
