Max Von Essen at Tavern on the Green

This is a New York moment. We've partnered with Tavern on the Green and An American in Paris star Max Von Essen to reunite the theatre community ahead of Broadway's reopening. Max will be joined by jazz legend Billy Stritch for an unforgettable evening of entertainment. The show's happening smack dab in the heart of the city — with a drink in hand, of course!

Located in Central Park, Tavern on the Green provides guests with an unparalleled dining experience that feels both like an escape from Manhattan and a quintessential New York night out. Emmy Award-winning design firm Livesight has created a custom stage for our performers in the patio overlooking Sheep Meadow.

Now let’s talk about the star of the show, Max Von Essen. His Broadway credits include his Tony Award-nominated performance as Henri Baurel in An American in Paris, as well as his roles as Gleb Vaganov in Anastasia, Magaldi in Evita, and Enjolras in Les Misérables. Most recently, Von Essen starred as Marvin in the national tour of Falsettos.

Please note: This event will follow NYC safety guidelines for live performances.
