Fourteen major Broadway productions are partnering with HeadCount, a non-partisan organization that promotes civic participation through music, culture, and live performance, to encourage Broadway fans across the United States to register and vote. Although Broadway performances in New York City remain suspended through the remainder of 2020 due to COVID-19, fans of all ages can join their favorite shows in making their voices heard at the polls this fall.

 

Participating shows whose campaigns launch today include Ain’t Too Proud – The Life and Times of The TemptationsChicagoCome From Away; Company; David Byrne’s American Utopia (which previously hosted a HeadCount voter registration booth in the Hudson Theatre lobby at each performance); Dear Evan HansenGirl From The North Country; HadestownHarry Potter and the Cursed ChildJagged Little PillMean Girls; Moulin Rouge! The Musical; Plaza Suite; and TINA – The Tina Turner Musical. Additional participating shows will be announced soon.

 

Through HeadCount’s national organization efforts, fans across the country can register, check, or update their voter registration status online and find localized information about polling dates, sites, and candidates. By doing so, they will be entered to win Broadway show tickets (applicable when performances resume) and more.
