IT’S ICONIC!! Broadway powerhouses
Eden Espinosa and
Kamilah Marshall are teasing a possible exciting new project coming tomorrow on Broadstream. Fans of the dynamic duo are already predicting its the return of their popular GAME NIGHT web series. Tune in tomorrow to find out what it is.
For those who may now know, real life BFF’s Espinosa and Marshall (alumnis of the Broadway production of
Rent & many of the hottest tickets on the Great Bright Way) teamed up with
Musical Theatre West during lockdown as they competed against each other in a series of various Musical Theater Themed Trivia Games on Instagram Live every Thursday night. Each week featured various games including….
THE WHISPER GAME (which notably Espinosa and Marshall ended up creating the official nickname for Game Night…. BAIDA),
FIRST LETTER, LAST LETTER,
Along with the viewers getting involved and interacting during the Lives, GAME NIGHT also features a hilarious drinking game. Before they actually start playing, Espinosa & Marshall would also choose a random “word of the day” (several words in previous episodes include HURRY, DRAW, PERSON, JOY, or EASY). Everytime one of them says that chosen word while playing their games, you better DRINK FOR YOUR LIFE. Also in the comment section, you would share an emoji to let them know you’re drinking.
GAME NIGHT ended on Instagram September 2020 due to news of rules, regulations, and restrictions getting changed to Instagram with copyrights laws for the use of popular music on daily lives. The final 3 episodes were done as a full interactive edition on ZOOM.
Who is excited for Eden and Kamilah’s announcement?!!!

One of the many shows that just returned is the groundbreaking Award winning smash hit 9/11 musical
Come From Away. Earlier today, the Broadway company made Healthy & Safety Protocol video (done in the style you would see when you’re flying on a plane). This is all to make the best of your experience to be back at THE ROCK in a protected matter.
