n Nov. 7, the Lynbrook High School Concert Choir traveled to Manhattan for a day of musical theater. In the morning, they participated in a workshop that simulated a professional Broadway rehearsal, held in an actual Broadway rehearsal studio. Joshua Kenneth Johnson, a cast member from the Broadway musical “Back to the Future” taught students the vocals and choreography to the show's opening number, It's Only a Matter of Time. Afterward, students had a Q&A with Mr. Johnson to learn about pursuing a career in music and the life of a Broadway performer.

Students then attended a matinee performance of the 2024 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical, “The Outsiders,” based on the iconic novel by S.E Hinton that is read in Lynbrook English classes. Following the amazing performance, students had the opportunity to meet several cast members of “The Outsiders,” including actor Brent Comer (Darrel Curtis) and actress Emma Pittman (Cherry Valance). #OwlProud #OwlLearns
