New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/12/2014 --The Broadway @ NOCCA series first launched in early 2013 when it made the leap from its now famous summer home at The Art House in Provincetown, MA. Beginning with no less than the legendary original "Evita" Patti LuPone, Broadway and Television's brightest lights have blazed a path to the Big Easy each season thanks to Producing Artistic Director Mark Cortale and Sirius XM radio star Seth Rudetsky. In this, the series' third season in New Orleans, the collective Broadway @ New Orleans series has already welcomed the debuts of Joanna Gleason - Tony-winner for "Into The Woods" and star of film's "Boogie Nights" and "The Wedding Planner" on on October 11 at Le Petit Theatre with special guests Well-Strung, the Singing String Quartet, followed by Cheyenne Jackson - star of TV's "30 Rock" and "Glee" and Broadway's "Damn Yankees" on November 7. This star-powered lineup continues into the new year with Ana Gasteyer - star of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," ABC's "Suburgatory" and Broadway's "Wicked" on March 28th, and Christine Ebersole - two-time Tony-winning star of Broadway's "Grey Gardens" and "42nd Street" on May 21, both at NOCCA and featuring Seth Rudetsky at the Piano.
