NEW YORK September 10, 2010 – “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” is excited to announce its first ever LNJF Broadway Week. The week will showcase all the biggest hits the Great White Way has to offer, from pounding punk rock to 60s swing. Starting September 13th, Jimmy will welcome a different Broadway musical to the Late Night studios each night.

The curtain will go up on Monday when David Bryan from Bon Jovi introduces a performance by the cast of “Memphis.” The musical explores the underground dance clubs of the 1950s with explosive dancing, irresistible songs and a thrilling tale of fame and forbidden love. The show was the winner of four 2010 Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

Tuesday brings “Promises, Promises” to the Studio 6B stage. This revival of the 1968 musical is based on the Oscar-winning Billy Wilder film “The Apartment” and it stars Emmy Award winner Sean Hayes.

Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day arrives to introduce the Tony Award winning musical “American Idiot” when they makes an appearance on Wednesday, telling the story of three lifelong friends, forced to choose between their dreams and the safety of suburbia. Their quest for true meaning in a post 9-11 world leads them on an exhilarating journey.

Thursday will feature “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson.” Cheered by the New York Times and Rolling Stone as “the season’s best musical”, the show began its life at the Public Theatre (which birthed “Hair” and “A Chirus Line”) and begins performances on Broadway next Monday.

Make sure to tune-in to see what other Broadway inspired surprises Jimmy has in store!
