Broadway Under the Stars

Broadway Under the Stars occurred last night in Bryant Park. Bryant Park is located between 42nd and 40th Streets with 6th Avenue running along its western end. The park is like the backyard for the Humanities and Social Sciences Libary of the New York City Public Libary system.

The lawn of the park quickly filled up for the 8:30 P.M. concert start time and overall an estimated 15,000 people attended the 4th annual event. Perhaps the best known actor in the show was Tom Wopat of Dukes of Hazard fame.

The show will be broadcast on local channel CBS 2 in New York City this Saturday at 7 P.M.

I didn't have good seats, so my pictures of the stage are quite far away. But, nonetheless here are the pictures I took:
