SIRIUSXM RADIO’S SETH RUDETSKY BRINGS BIG FAT BROADWAY SHOW TO THEATRE BY THE SEA ON JULY 11
WAKEFIELD, RI – Theatre By The Sea (TBTS) owner and producer Bill Hanney is thrilled to welcome SiriusXM Radio’s Seth Rudetsky and his hi-larious one man show, Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Show to Theatre By The Sea on Monday, July 11 for one show only.
Described as a combination of “America’s Funniest Home Videos,” “The Tony Awards,” and “The Daily Show,” Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Show has played from coast to coast for the last decade. Known as “The Voice of Broadway Across America” and “The Mayor of Broadway,” (which is what Audra McDonald calls him), Seth has worked for over two decades on Broadway as an actor, writer, pianist, and conductor, on the biggest blockbusters ever, including Les Misérables, Phantom, Ragtime, and The Producers, as well as writing for both the Tony and Grammy Awards. Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Show is a 90-minute hysterical romp featuring Rudetsky’s trademark “deconstructions,” in which he uses his amazing audio/video collection to break down brilliant performances from beloved Broadway divas (Patti LuPone, Betty Buckley) as well as showcasing mind-boggling performances like The Osmonds singing a medley from Fiddler On The Roof. Seriously. He also does an entire section on Barbra Streisand, who actually came to the show in Los Angeles…and Seth will tell that story when you see the show!
Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Show starring Seth Rudetsky will be at Theatre By The Sea on Monday, July 11 at 7:30 pm.
The theatre is located at 364 Cards Pond Road, Wakefield. Tickets are $35 – $58 (additional fees may apply). Discount rates are available for groups of 10 or more by calling (401) 782-3800 x112.

Located on Rhode Island’s South Shore, Theatre By The Sea celebrates 86 years of summer theatre at its best!
Theatre By The Sea has had many incarnations since opening on August 7, 1933. Tommy Brent saved the theatre from demolition in 1967 and ran it successfully until FourQuest Entertainment took over the lease in 1988.
Following extensive renovations, FourQuest reopened the theatre in the spring of 1989 and continued producing high quality entertainment at the seaside playhouse until the fall of 2003. Bill Hanney purchased the property in 2007 and, with producing partners, successfully mounted a production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, just six weeks later, reopening the historic theatre on August 8, 2007.
Since then, Theatre By The Sea has continued to produce a four-musical subscription season, a late-night cabaret series, a children’s theatre festival, and a children’s summer theatre camp.
