The Broadway Lecture Series At Stageworks Presents Jelani Remy

originally published: 01/27/2023


(POMPTON LAKES, NJ) -- They say “home is where the heart is.” Well, Jelani Remy’s heart is overjoyed to be back home in NJ as the featured guest of The Broadway Lecture Series at Stageworks at Studio 237 in Pompton Lakes this March. This intimate event takes place on Saturday, March 11th at 3:00pm and is limited to less than 100 patrons.

Prior to resuming his starring role of Eddie Kendricks in the Tony Award® winning production of Ain’t Too Proud, Jelani had the honor of being Simba in The Lion King for an epic run. One of the most popular and charismatic young actors on Broadway, Jelani has serenaded audiences with his smooth, silky tenor and onstage charm. Join him for an evening of love and laughter as he tells the story of how a child from Jersey went on to lead some of Broadway’s biggest hits.  

Jelani’s credits include three years as Simba in the Broadway, National Tour, and Vegas company of Disney’s The Lion King, as well as parts in Disney’s High School Musical and High School Musical 2ParadeCabaret, and the recent off-Broadway production of Smokey Joe’s Cafe.

The lecture series is an interactive chat about what it takes to make it to the bright lights of the stage. Think “Inside The Actor’s Studio” Meets Broadway! Questions from the audience will be collected to make this a truly interactive experience. 

This not to be missed conversation, will be followed by a VIP Meet & Greet for a limited amount of tickets. A professional photographer will be on hand to snap a picture with Jelani. VIP tickets also include seats in the first few rows of the auditorium. For tickets, visit www.BroadwayLectureSeries.com
