The first Broadway swarm, presented by TheaterAdvisor.com, was held Aug. 31 at the famed Sardi's Restaurant. Theater fans successfully earned their swarm badge and became a part of Broadway history.
Thanks to special guest host Tony Award winner Gregory Jbara (Billy Elliot) and special celebrity "swarm-er" Matt Cavenaugh (West Side Story, Grey Gardens)
