Ge Case Study
July 27th, 2009
Jeffrey Finn asked:
To celebrate the completion of a major fundraising effort, GE turned to Hot On Broadway to entertain their employees and families. But with a limited time frame, can a customized Broadway show be built in time to reward the audience?
Here’s how Hot On Broadway met the challenge…
Initiative:
In 2007, GE employees were instrumental in fundraising over $22 million to aid in the renovation of the historic Proctor’s Theatre. To celebrate the completion of the project, GE approached Hot On Broadway to transform their annual Family Day event. GE needed a high-energy, family-friendly Broadway show to entertain a diverse crowd. Hot On Broadway delivered the event in less than 12 weeks.
Solution:
Working as a partner with GE, we customized a production, identified key goals, and put together a company of 15 headliners pulled from the Broadway companies of Chicago, Grease, Jersey Boys, The Lion King, Mamma Mia!, The Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and Wicked.
Results:
Over 5,000 guests were welcomed at the door by photographers, street performers, and characters from Broadway blockbusters. Each person received a customized program of the event, and food and beverages were served throughout the theatre. With cast members re-creating their show-stopping moments from Broadway, the Hot On Broadway performance culminated in confetti explosions, standing ovations, and thunderous applause.
Following the event, GE’s Event Manager raved, “The wonderful comments continue to pour in about the Hot On Broadway performance for over 5,000 guests! Thank you again for not just one, not two, but THREE back-to-back performances on GE Family Day! Your family friendly production didn’t miss a beat, and our entire GE team was impressed! Hot On Broadway met our expectations perfectly and delivered exactly what was promised! You were delightful to work with, and eased every apprehension throughout our planning process. Thanks again!”
