The Chronicles of Piercing Ken was once again a part of the Pop Culture Media that was covering the annual BroadwayCon convention which was being held at the New York Marriott Marquis hotel in Times Square. Having attended this convention since 2018, it’s an event that I look forward to because in some sense its like a Broadway themed comic convention. There are numerous panels, performances and many of the attendees arrive in theatrical performance themed cosplay. In addition to all these things there is also a wonderful marketplace to explore. I spoke to a number of them for content on the YouTube Channel and in order to have these videos add to the coverage base on the website a few have been collected here for your viewing pleasure. Please enjoy the second installment.

Today: BroadwayCon 2023 Begins @ New York Marriott Marquis

Hey Friends, I’m just taking a moment out of the day to let you know that the BroadwayCon for 2023 is beginning today and I’m just about ready to head out to it. Historically speaking I usually try to attend for two of its three days because there is a lot to do in these summer months and the content doesn’t create itself. I like this convention and have been going to it since around 2018 I think. It’s a lot of fun and can best be viewed as the comic convention for theatre geeks. There are panels, professional Broadway actors, a massive Marketplace with things all theatre in scope and lots of cosplay with fans dressed as characters from their favorite plays. My plan is to snap a lot of photos of these cosplayers and maybe even do some interviews since those can be fun. Now I have to apologize for not having a graphic of my press badge but they don’t send this to you in advance and instead I will secure mine when I arrive at the hotel where they are hosting the convention. That’s the New York Marriott Marquis in case you didn’t know. I do like showing off the press badge and lining out the plans but this time I am just going to go in and have fun and get as much as I can in the time that I am wandering the rooms.
