Running Jan. 22-24 at the New York Hilton Midtown, BroadwayCon gives fans an all-access experience with performers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, writers, designers and more.

Playbill has partnered with BroadwayCon to present the event, created by theatre lovers for theatre lovers — Melissa Anelli, Stephanie Dornhelm and original Rent star Anthony Rapp conceived the event.

Here's a few highlights of what's still in store for today:

The Keenan-Bolger Survival Guide (4-5 PM). "So you’re studying performance? Good for you! But if you move to New York to pursue a career, you may find that there are parts of pounding the pavement that no one prepared you for. Spend an hour with Andrew and Celia Keenan-Bolger as they share what they’ve learned about life as a performer in the big city."

Why Didn't It Run?: Back to Before Edition (4-5 PM). "Some of our favorite shows that have found success in Broadway revivals and theatres around the country were less successful in their initial Broadway runs. Our panel of experts will examine these shows and ask 'why didn’t it run?'" Panelists include Frank DiLella, Peter Filichia, Susan L. Schulman and Robert Viagas.

Words and Music: Songwriters on Songwriting (5-5:50 PM). "Can’t get that song out of your head? Come and hear how it got there! How does writing in a team differ from going it alone? How do you adjust when your favorite lyrics just don’t fit with the music? And is it ever worth compromising when the song no longer serves the story?" Playbill.com's Michael Gioia will be joined by Joe Iconis, Kait Kerrigan, Brian Lowdermilk, Shaina Taub, Michael Weiner and Alan Zachary.

Razzle Dazzle! A Conversation with Michael Riedel (7-7:50 PM). Playbill editor in chief Blake Ross will sit down with the controversial New York Post columnist to discuss his latest book that takes readers behind the scenes of the business of Broadway.

There's also plenty of fun in store with a Disney Sing-along, the Modern Musicals Sing-along, the Broadway Team Quiz, the Tony Performance Countdown (hosted by Jennifer Ashley Tepper) and the BroadwayCon Cabaret featuring a host of your favorite Broadway stars.
