Tony Danza, Christine Pedi, and More Poised to Set a Guinness World Record

The program for the Metropolitan Room's Longest Variety Show Ever is taking shape and is poised to break more than one record this New Year's. As previously announced, the Manhattan venue will host a three-day marathon show, stretching from Thursday, January 1, through Sunday, January 4, 2015 — 60 straight hours of entertainment. The show is produced with an eye to a Guinness World Record for longest variety show ever (the current record stands at 12 hours and 8 minutes).

In addition to the record for longest variety show, the program is also positioned to set the new record for most performers in a single show.
