A One-Night-Only Cabaret to Support Weathervane Musical Theatre Company ScholarshipsWeathervane Playhouse proudly presents Broadway Comes Home: Marcus M. Martin in Concert on Saturday, August 23, 2025 — a special fundraising event benefiting the Weathervane Musical Theatre Company (WMTC) Scholarship Fund. WMTC is a pre-professional musical theatre training program for students interested in a career in the performing arts.
Akron native Marcus M. Martin -- now a standby Genie in Broadway’s Aladdin and former star of the show's North American tour -- returns to the Weathervane stage where his theatrical journey began. Reflecting on his roots, Marcus shares: “Weathervane is really where I fell in love with theater. That’s where I perfected my craft, and that really prepared me for where I am now.
Joining Marcus is Patrick B. Phillips, Broadway music director, who is currently working on Broadway's & Juliet.
The evening features both solo performances by Marcus and collaborations with WMTC student performers, highlighting songs including:
"Friend Like Me” from Aladdin
A medley from Motown: The Musical
"Any Dream Will Do” from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
