Zac is no longer doing this as scheduling got in the way.
On Monday, June 17, 2013, Zachary Levi and Krysta Rodriguez, stars of Broadway’s new romantic musical comedy FIRST DATE, will team up to light the world-famous Empire State Building tower lights in honor of Actors’ Equity’s 100th anniversary.
Mr. Levi (star of NBC’s “Chuck,” Disney’s “Tangled” and the upcoming feature film “Thor: The Dark World”), is a new member of AEA making his Broadway and professional stage debut opposite Ms. Rodriguez (NBC’s “Smash” and Broadway’s THE ADDAMS FAMILY), who has been a member of AEA since 2005. FIRST DATE begins previews at the Longacre Theatre on July 9.
Together they will “flip the switch” to light the world-famous Empire State Building tower lights in AEA’s official blue-and-brown insignia colors to mark the centennial.
The Empire State Building is located at 350 5th Ave. New York, NY. The Observatory is open every day, including weekends and holidays from 8AM to 2AM. To learn more, visit http://www.esbnyc.com. [Source]

Posted by Hayley in Jun 11,2013 with No Comments
The box office has opened and tickets are now on sale for upcoming musical comedy First Date, which opens on Broadway at the Longacre Theatre on August 8. The show, starring Chuck’s Zachary Levi and Smash’s Krysta Rodriguez, begins preview performances on July 9.
The show tells the story of the tightly-wound Aaron (Levi) and serial dater Casey (Rodriguez), whose first date is chronicled as it unfolds over the course of one hilarious evening. A quick drink turns into an eventful dinner served with sides of Google background checks, fake emergency phone calls and a slew of bad boy and uptown girl exes.
The cast also includes Sara Chase, Kristoffer Cusick, Blake Hammond, Kate Loprest, Vicki Noon, Bryce Ryness, Eric Ankrim, Kevin Kern and Sydney Shepherd. Ankrim, who originated the role of Aaron in the show’s 2012 Seattle premiere, will temporarily take over Levi’s role from July 16 through July 21.
First Date features a book by Austin Winsberg, music and lyrics by Alan Zachary and Michael Weiner and direction by Bill Berry. The creative team includes musical staging by Josh Rhodes, scenic and media design by David Gallo, costumes by David C. Woolard, lighting by Mike Baldassari, sound by Kai Harada and hair by Josh Marquette. [SOURCE]
