Josh Groban Surprises New York Fans With Special Broadway Duet During ‘Stages’ Album Launch

Josh Groban gave New York music fans an unforgettable surprise on April 28, 2015, when he marked the release of his seventh studio album, Stages, with a special live performance at The Shops at Columbus Circle in Manhattan.

The multi-platinum vocalist celebrated the album’s launch day by taking the stage for an intimate pop-up concert, bringing his unmistakable voice to an enthusiastic crowd. Rather than simply promoting the new record, Groban turned the occasion into a memorable musical experience with a special guest appearance from Tony Award-winning Broadway star Lena Hall.

One of the highlights of the performance came when Groban and Hall joined forces for “All I Ask of You,” the beloved romantic duet from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s legendary musical The Phantom of the Opera. Their live rendition offered fans a special interpretation of the iconic song, which holds a prominent place in musical theater history.

The choice of song was particularly fitting for the occasion. Stages was a collection of songs from some of Broadway’s most celebrated productions, allowing Groban to explore his longstanding appreciation for musical theater. While the album’s studio recording of “All I Ask of You” featured Kelly Clarkson, Hall stepped in to perform the duet alongside Groban at the New York event.

Hall was already attracting considerable attention for her acclaimed Broadway performance in Hedwig and the Angry Inch, making her appearance alongside Groban an exciting addition to the album celebration.
