New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/12/2013 -- When Sutton Foster (2-time Tony Winner for “Thoroughly Modern Millie” and “Anything Goes” and star of TV’s “Bunheads”), Patti LuPone (2-time Tony Winner for “Evita” and “Gypsy” and star of TV’s “American Horror Story”) and Megan Mullally (2-time Emmy-winning star of TV’s “Will & Grace” and star of Broadway’s “Young Frankenstein” and “Grease”) each agreed to do rare, new 90 minute concert / interview / comedy specials - to be aired exclusively online - they did so at the request of one special man. Each of the leading ladies had also recently performed equally rare, intimate, sold-out concerts with him for the acclaimed “Broadway @ The Art House” series in Provincetown, MA over the past year. Series host and pianist Seth Rudetsky, the multi-hyphenate Sirius/XM Radio Star-musician-comedian-author whom the New York Times dubbed “The Mayor of Broadway,” convinced each of the superstars to present these special performances as filmed concerts exclusively through SethTV, his own, new web-television network. All three concerts are now available to purchase on the site, with Foster’s having just launched over this Thanksgiving weekend.

What perhaps differentiates these TV specials from others is the seamless mix of intimate behind-the-scenes stories from three of TV and Broadway’s brightest stars – prompted by the encyclopedic-minded Rudetsky’s probing, funny, revealing questions – and their stellar singing of unique repertoire. If there are stories from Sutton Foster, Patti LuPone and Megan Mullally’s TV, film & Broadway careers that you’ve always wanted to hear them tell, and songs that you’ve always wanted to hear them sing...chances are, that you’ll see and hear them here (and possibly only here) on SethTV’s “An Evening With…” series of concert specials. Coming soon in the web series are reportedly concert specials from Audra McDonald, Christine Ebersole, and Chita Rivera, among others yet to be announced.

Sutton Foster starred on Broadway in “The Will Rogers Follies,” “Grease,” “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” “Annie,” amd “Les Misérables” before her big break and Tony Award-winning performance in “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” She has since then originated roles in the Broadway productions of “Little Women,” “The Drowsy Chaperone,” “Young Frankenstein,” and “Shrek the Musical.” She most recently starred as Reno Sweeney in The Roundabout's revival of “Anything Goes,” a role that earned her the 2011 Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics, Astaire, and Broadway.com's Audience Favorite Awards. She was first seen on television on “Star Search” at age 15, and has appeared in “Johnny and the Sprites” and “Flight of the Conchords.” Most recently, she was the star of the ABC Family TV ballet ‘dramedy’ “Bunheads,” created by “Gilmore Girls” writer/producer Amy Sherman-Palladino. It was announced this week she will star in the pilot new TV series “Younger” by “Sex and the City” creator Darren Starr, and will also take the lead in a new Broadway revival of the musical “Violet” for the Roundabout Theater Company. On December 8 she appeared at the 36th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, where she performed a medley of hit Broadway songs made famous by honoree Shirley MacLaine, including “Something Better Than This,” “Steam Heat” and “She’s No Longer A Gypsy.” The star-studded event will be broadcast on CBS as a two-hour primetime special Dec. 29 at 9 PM ET.

She has also been seen on Broadway in “Sweeney Todd,” Michael Frayn’s “Noises Off,” David Mamet’s “The Old Neighborhood,” Terrence McNally’s “Master Class,” and her own concert “Patti LuPone on Broadway.” On London’s West End, she won Olivier Awards for her performances as Fantine in the original production of “Les Misérables” and for her role in the Acting Company production of “The Cradle Will Rock.” Also in London she created the role of Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” and recreated her Broadway performance as Maria Callas in “Master Class” there. Patti LuPone’s film appearances include “Union Square,” “Parker,” “City By The Sea,” “Heist,” “State and Main,” “Summer of Sam,” “Driving Miss Daisy,” and “Witness.” Her TV work includes “Glee,” “30 Rock,” “Ugly Betty,” “Will & Grace,” “OZ,” “Frasier,” “Law & Order,” “Life Goes On,” the Emmy winning PBS broadcasts of “Passion” and “Sweeney Todd,” PBS Great Performances’ “Candide” and “An Evening with Patti LuPone.” Patti currently stars on FX TV in “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Coven.”

Megan Mullally is best known for playing the iconic role of Karen Walker on "Will & Grace" for which she won two Emmy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, and four consecutive Golden Globe Award nominations. She made her Broadway debut as Marty in the 1994 revival of "Grease" with Rosie O'Donnell and next appeared as Rosemary in the hit 1995 revival of "How to Succeed..." opposite Matthew Broderick.
