Donna Vivino and Fate Fahrner perform at 106.7 Lite FM’s Broadway in Bryant Park

Yesterday’s show was hosted by Christine Nagy.  The always awe-inspiring performers of Cirque du Soleil’s Zarkana kicked-off the festivities with a synchronized flag and animated feature show.  Donna Vivino and Fate Fahrner gave a wickedly good rendition of “For Good”.  Cast members from MEMPHIS transported the audience back to the golden era of rock and roll with “Music of My Soul”.  The women of Sister Act were fierce as they sang “Fabulous Baby” and the “Unchained Melody” of the Righteous Brothers rounded out the show as Richard Fleeshman of Ghost had the audience participating in a sing-along.
