The rousing Act I finale, Who Will Love Me as I Am, sung by the show’s two leading ladies, Erin Davie and Emily Padgett, will be the first opening night performance in history aired live in Times Square.

Side Show super-fans and Broadway fans alike are invited to gather at the famous red steps at Duffy Square in Times Square at 47th Street to view the show-stopping number.

“Clear Channel Spectacolor is proud to premier this extraordinary performance to everyone in Duffy Square on Side Show’s opening night, using the new audio technology that lets us deliver unique events, sponsor-ships and brand experiences on behalf of advertisers,” said Harry Coghlan, President, Clear Channel Outdoor New York. “As a producing partner of Side Show, we are delighted to bring the full breadth of our capabilities to the show’s marketing program which is as unique and distinctive as the show itself.”

"It is exciting for all of us at Side Show to celebrate Broadway in this historic way,” said the show’s director, Bill Condon.

Directed by Academy Award®-winner Bill Condon, featuring a “supercharged score” (Charles Isherwood, New York Times), Side Show includes new music by multiple Grammy Award® winner and Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, and Tony Award® nominee Henry Krieger (Dreamgirls), with book and lyrics by Tony Award® nominee Bill Russell and additional book material by Bill Condon, and choreography by Tony and Olivier Award® nominee Anthony Van Laast (Mamma Mia!).

Side Show is inspired by the remarkable true story of the Hilton twins, Daisy and Violet, who were legends in their time and the highest paid performers on the vaudeville circuit. Side Show is their heartwarming search for first love and acceptance amidst the spectacle of fame and scrutiny under the spotlight.
