Sirius Satellite's Broadway station host Seth Rudetsky, comes to the Hangar Theatre for one night with his acclaimed one man show Rhapsody in Seth, voted “one of the year’s best” by HX Magazine and Backstage. The New York Times called Rhapsody in Seth "Freshly Funny and charming” and “snappily directed” – by the Hangar’s own Peter Flynn.

For the uninitiated, Seth Rudetsky is a brilliantly funny authority on all things show business. Rhapsody in Seth explores his not-to be-believed childhood on Long Island and how musical theatre saved his life! Called "A smart and insightful script that's as funny as it is poignant...A star who is compelling, endearing and inherently hilarious" by Theatermania.com, Seth was also nominated for a GLAAD Award for his virtuosic performance.

Seth is the Broadway host, seven days a week, on Sirius Satellite Radio. As a pianist, Seth has played for more than a dozen Broadway shows including RAGTIME, LES MIZ and PHANTOM. He was the Artistic Producer/Music Director for the first five annual Actors Fund Fall Concerts including DREAMGIRLS with Audra MacDonald (recorded on Nonesuch Records) and HAIR with Jennifer Hudson (recorded on Ghostlight Records, Grammy Nomination).

In 2007 he made his Broadway acting debut playing Sheldon (singing “Magic to Do” in a devastating unitard) in THE RITZ directed by Joe Mantello for The Roundabout Theater. Off-Broadway he wrote and starred in the critically acclaimed RHAPSODY IN SETH (directed by Peter Flynn) at the Actors Playhouse and has also appeared on TV on LAW AND ORDER C.I. and had a recurring role on ALL MY CHILDREN.

As an author, he penned the books THE Q GUIDE TO BROADWAY, now in its third printing, and the recently published BROADWAY NIGHTS which was just released as an audio book on audible.com featuring Andrea Martin, Jonathan Groff and Kristin Chenoweth .
