Seth Rudetsky, Lillias White, and Arielle Jacobs Now To Speak, Perform At Orlove Auditorium.
BROWARD COUNTY, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — There has been a scheduling change to a major Jewish and theatrical event set for Sunday — the event featuring Broadway legend and Sirius/XM host Seth Rudetsky, and superstars Lillias White and Arielle Jacobs.
Sponsored by The David Posnack JCC, the Orlove Auditorium in Broward is the new location for the latest installment of The Overlap series. Titled “Speaking Up in Every Key,” the event blends high-caliber Broadway performances with conversations centered on how the arts foster empathy and allyship. While hosted by the DPJCC, the initiative is designed for the entire South Florida community, aiming to show how creative expression can serve as a powerful tool to challenge hate and build bridges across diverse backgrounds.
The afternoon features stage legends, including Tony and Emmy Award-winner Lillias White and Arielle Jacobs, known for her starring role as Princess Jasmine in Aladdin. Joining them is celebrated pianist and SiriusXM host Seth Rudetsky, who will anchor the performances and lead the dialogue. The event now starts at 3:00 PM with a performance of “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” featuring Rudetsky on the keys accompanied by the Gay Men’s Chorus of South Florida.
We interviewed Seth Rudetsky a few weeks ago. The Broadway insider promoted the unique structure of the show, emphasizing that it is more than just a concert. Rudetsky’s signature wit and deep-seated knowledge of the industry will guide the audience through a mix of musical numbers and a candid panel discussion on personal journeys, advocacy, and the importance of promoting love in an increasingly divided world.
The program’s shift to the Orlove Auditorium in Davie reflects the growing interest in The Overlap’s mission. Following the musical sets, the “Speaking Up in Every Key” conversation will allow the performers to share how their specific identities—including Jacobs’ pride in her Filipino American heritage—inform their work as activists. By highlighting these intersectional stories, the DPJCC seeks to create a space where storytelling acts as a catalyst for unity within the broader South Florida region. Buy tickets here. The Orlove is located at 5850 South Pine Island Road in Davie.
