The 2025 lineup kicks off May 1 with “All Arts’ House Seats: Mandy Gonzalez in Concert,” featuring numbers from “West Side Story,” “Hamilton,” “Wicked” and “Fearless,” a “personal anthem” written for her by Lin-Manuel Miranda. 

The concert also features a collaboration with Long Island University’s Musical Theatre Department, whose student performers join Gonzalez for a finale that includes Katy Perry’s “Firework.” All Arts will also host weekly premieres across its broadcast and YouTube channels, streaming app, and social media accounts.
