Creation Entertainment will host A Salute to Broadway at The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort June 27–28, and among the names on the bill is Andrew Rannells, who is listed for appearances across the weekend including the One-Night-Only concert on June 27.
The convention bills a heavy roster of stage veterans and contemporary stars. Scheduled guests include Lea Salonga, Bebe Neuwirth, Jennifer Holliday, Jordan Fisher, Ana Gasteyer, Marc Shaiman, Michael Cerveris, Alex Newell, Celia Rose Gooding, Skylar Astin, Lindsay Mendez, Anthony Rapp, Adam Pascal, Gabrielle Ruiz, Ali Stroker, Santino Fontana, Rick Lyon, and Seth Rudetsky alongside Rannells.
Organizers say the June 27 One-Night-Only concert will feature a subset of those artists: Salonga, Rannells, Gasteyer, Astin, Fisher, Mendez, Shaiman, Fontana, Newell, Cerveris, Gooding, Ruiz, Stroker and Lyon. They will be accompanied for the evening by an 11-piece orchestra, led by music supervisor Drew Wutke.
The weekend is built around multiple kinds of fan activities. The program includes staged performances in the hotel’s theatre, photo-and-autograph meet-and-greets, a cosplay competition, a Broadway trivia contest with cash and prizes, and a Marie’s Crisis pop-up piano bar that will offer evening sing-alongs. The convention is co-hosted by Michelle Dowdy and pianists Brandon James Gwinn and Drew Wutke.
Described as a Broadway fan convention, the weekend gathers numerous Tony-winning performers and creatives for onstage appearances and fan-facing events. For attendees the draw is twofold: a one-night concert that places many marquee names on the same programme, and a slate of smaller sessions that let fans meet performers, play trivia, or sing along in a late-night piano bar setting.
There is a practical gap in the schedule as released. The weekend simultaneously promises both theatre performances and photo-and-autograph sessions, but the published lineup does not break out which listed guests will appear in which formats outside the June 27 concert roster. Likewise, the One-Night-Only concert roster is set and the presence of an 11-piece orchestra is confirmed, but the announcement does not specify songs, medleys or set lengths for Rannells or the other concert artists.
What happens next is straightforward: the convention takes place June 27–28 at The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, with the One-Night-Only concert on June 27 backed by the 11-piece orchestra under Drew Wutke. For fans buying passes, the most consequential unanswered question is exactly what material each performer—Andrew Rannells included—will present onstage during the concert and which appearances elsewhere in the weekend are purely meet-and-greet versus staged performances.
