Getting to Know You
with Fairfield County’s Young Artists
Hosted by Kelli O’Hara
a Playhouse Livestream Event
Running Time: ~ 2 hours

Thank you to Kelli O’Hara and to all of our young artists for a fabulous show!

Ten young performers from across Fairfield County gathered, living room to living room, with Tony Award®-winning Broadway star Kelli O’Hara for an evening of conversation and song.

Talented high school students from across Fairfield County prepared, filmed, and submitted videos of musical theater selections, many of which they had hoped to perform in school musicals this spring. Ten participants and ten understudies were selected at random to participate in the showcase.

And because all the videos submitted were such a joy to watch, we created a supercut video and included it at the end of the program.

Watch it again
