The cast of 30 Rock is reuniting for the 20th anniversary of the show’s premiere — but not in front of cameras.
Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski and Jack McBrayer will come together for a live show at New York’s Radio City Music Hall on Oct. 11, 20 years to the day after 30 Rock premiered on NBC. The show is a benefit for the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, and the announcement calls it “a never-to-be-televised event.”
So if you want to go to there, you’ll have to get a ticket to the live show. The presale starts at 10 a.m. ET Wednesday, with public sales beginning at the same time Thursday.
“Listen up tens, a five is speaking!” Fey said in the release announcing the show. “Please join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show Tom Shales once said ‘needs a better premise and funnier dialogue … and most of all a more commanding performer in the starring role.’”
Radio City’s announcement of the event says the night will feature “games, nonsense and surprises” with the five core castmembers along with appearances from other people who appeared on 30 Rock and special guests.
“We’re honored to be named the charitable partner for this celebration, says Shaba R. Keys, president and CEO of The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem. “All net proceeds go directly toward the after-school, academic, and career programs that help more than 2,000 Harlem young people each year chart a path to their own futures — and we’re grateful to be part of a night this special.”
30 Rock ran for seven seasons on NBC, chronicling the behind-the-scenes shenanigans of a sketch comedy show run by Fey’s character, Liz Lemon, at a fictionalized NBC. The show won 16 Emmys during its run, including three straight for best comedy series from 2007-09.
