Less than a day after taking the stage for their official opening night at the Dolby Theatre, The Band's Visit First National Cast members Janet Dacal, Sasson Gabay, Joe Joseph, and Coby Getzug discussed the multiple Tony Award-winning musical in a special event held for media this morning, Wednesday, December 1, at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Joining them for the event taking place diagonally across Hollywood Boulevard from their stage home for the next few weeks were the non-actor members of the titular band, Roger Kashou, Wick Simmons, Yoni Avi Battat, Kane Mathis, and Brian Krock, who treated the assembled audience to two live musical performances while in full costume. Video of the entire panel and performances are below.
