Elsie Fest Returns

The second year of the outdoor musical festival Elsie Fest is in full swing. Co-creator and producer Darren Criss (Glee, Hedwig) visited The Elvis Duran Show this morning and spilled the much-anticipated details including new venue information and the lineup.

The musical festival, which debuted in 2015, has been hailed as the “Broadway Coachella” by fans and Criss due to its casual atmosphere. Last year’s guests included favorites such as Hamilton‘s Leslie Odom Jr. and Grease: Live‘s Aaron Tveit.

Elsie Fest 2016 will take place on September 5 (Labor Day) and its new home is the Ford Amphitheater at Coney Island Boardwalk. The lineup is as follows:

Darren Criss
Tituss Burgess
Megan Hilty
Lena Hall
Jason Robert Brown
Corey Cott
Rebel and a Basketcase
Pasek and Paul
Julie James

And a special guest performance by Tony winner Cynthia Erivo.

Pre-sale is on Thursday, July 28 at 10 AM ET (get the code for pre-sale by submitting your email on the website).

General sale is on Friday, July 29 at 10 AM ET.

Tickets will be available on Ticketmaster.

As of right now, it’s unknown whether or not Meet and Greet passes will be distributed but stay updated by following Elsie Fest on social media:
