Recently, “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” was on point as attending press for the annual BroadwayCon, which had returned to the winter months and while originally schedule for the New York Hilton Midtown, would instead be happening at the New York Marriott Marquis right smack dab in Times Square. I’ve been attending this one since 2018 and always have managed to have a good time.
The conventions co-founder, Melissa Anelli, leads the teams of Mischief Management and came out first as a part of the opening ceremony. We sadly learned from her that their usual host Ben Cameron would not be participating in the show which was a bit of a bummer since Ben is so fun and very engaging with the fans across all three days.
As previously reported, “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” was on point at the always entertaining BroadwayCon for 2025. This time around it was being held at the New York Marriott Marquis and it was a bit out of the blue from its original location of the New York Hilton Midtown but things happen I guess. So since I’ve mentioned that this was a comic con set to the Broadway score I will leave it at that and now I am here to let you know that since I took so many photos across the two days that I was in attendance that I will once again being doing my now time-honored “Instagram Takeover” practices. I began doing these with the New York Comic Con and Anime NYC and figured that when I do a trade show or convention that this kind of social media feature will be something the readers can easily enjoy. Once again it will mostly be cosplayers but I will also add in a number of exhibitors since I talk to so many of them during the event. Since I shared the badge images and announcing that I was just arriving I’ve decided to begin this takeover with a visual of their onstage marquee. Remember to click the hearts and chime in if you have something topical to add to the mix since it helps the engagement and I also enjoy responding to the real supporters.
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.
Believe it or not, the BroadwayCon for 2025 is pretty much around the corner and I’m excited to share that “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” is going to be among the members of the accredited press for this years convention. To celebrate I’m once again sharing the fun graphic that I use for such approvals.
