The popular Broadway snow globes will return to Times Square this holiday season November 3 at 11 AM with an unveiling accompanied by a live concert. The “show globes” portray scenes inspired by Ain’t Too Proud—The Life and Times of the Temptations, Dear Evan Hansen, The Lion King, and Wicked.
Entertainer Mark Nadler will host the event, performing Broadway and holiday tunes on the Playbill Sing for Hope piano, along with a medley of songs from each of the shows represented. The event will be featured on Playbill.com.
Additional talent will be announced later.
