Broadway Rally for Kamala Harris
The Broadway Rally for Kamala Harris event in New York was a true meeting of big names where pop culture celebs and political elites gathered. Apart from Hathaway, another New York-born actress was Whoopi Goldberg, who was also part of the event. Talking about Harris’ decision to use Broadway for her campaign, she told Variety,
Kamala Harris couldn’t have come to a better place than Broadway. The people of Broadway are a microcosm of every slice of life in America — so we get who you are and where you need to be.
Other stars who attended the event were Kelli O’Hara, Kristin Chenoweth, Ana Gasteyer, Wilson Cruz, Arielle Jacobs, Erika Henningsen, Isabelle McCalla, J. Harrison Ghee, Judy Kuhn, Lilli Cooper, Rosie Perez and Shaina Taub. These Broadway icons raised their voices in support of Harris through their speeches and performances.
The event was a co-production of James Wesley Jackson, Seth Rudetsky, Bruce Cohen, Robb Nanus, and Jeff Metzler. The show was directed by Schele Williams, while Rudetsky was the music director. Moreover, it wasn’t just a one-off event.
It was organized as part of a broader campaign known as Broadway for Harris, a volunteer group that is supporting Harris and Tim Walz.
Anne Hathaway has been actively taking interest in the 2024 presidential election. Besides the Broadway performance, she has been encouraging her followers to vote through her Instagram posts, much like she did with her performance.
