Sonoma’s own Broadway couple presents a live-stream Fathers Day tribute

Married performers Libby Servais and Stephan Stubbins, who met and fell in love during Broadway Under the Stars productions in Glen Ellen, join with Broadway friends to present “Libby & Stephan Live: Father’s Day Eve on Broadway,” on Saturday, June 20. The venue: their living room.

Stubbins c0-founded the Transcendence Theatre Company. In 2013, Servais, with her Broadway resume, came to perform in the summer shows. The rest, as they say in the third act, is history. The couple married in 2019, and announced a move back to New York early this spring.

In the style of the beloved Transcendence shows,  the couple’s live-streamed performance will feature a range of performances including songs from Chicago, Gypsy and 42nd Street, as well as songs by Billy Joel, Elton John, and The Beatles.

“Sharing some laughs, connecting with our community, and giving to great causes is a wonderful way to honor our fathers on a day when we can’t be together in person,” says Stubbins.

Servais was most recently seen in “Wicked” on Broadway, floating in the bubble as the standby for Glinda, a role she performed in the San Francisco company and the second national tour, for which she was featured on the A Very Wicked Halloween NBC television special. Additionally, on Broadway, Servais was in the original Broadway cast of Lysistrata Jones. 

Stubbins become well known locally as the founder and relentless ambassador for Transcendence, as well as appearing in the shows. But he too has a strong performance resume, highlighted by his time on Broadway in Mary Poppins, in the pre-Broadway world premiere of the musical Memphis, singing an opening act solo for Frank Sinatra, and working with artist legends on and off stage including Rita Moreno, Dick Van Dyke, Kristin Chenoweth, Ben Vereen, Conan O’Brien, and more. 

Now, he and his wife are coming to a screen near you.

“After the success of our live-stream performance on Mother’s Day weekend, we knew it would be meaningful to share  some of our favorite songs with friends and supporters across the country on a weekend when we’re used to being together with our family and friends,” he says.

Taking place on Father’s Day Eve, the show will feature special guest performers, including Shaleah Adkisson (Hair), Alicia Albright (Frozen), Steel Burkhardt (Aladdin), Erin Crouch (The Who’s Tommy Intl. Tour), LaVon Fisher-Wilson (Chicago), David R Gordon (Charlie & The Chocolate Factory Natl. Tour), Eric Jackson (Young Frankenstein), Patty Lohr (Kinky Boots Natl. Tour), and Cassie Okenka (School of Rock).
