Rain won’t stop Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka from a Broadway performance

Call it the Great Wet Way.

Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka won’t let a little torrential downpour and a blackout keep them from some Broadway singing.

We’re told the pair made it out to see “Wicked” star Jessica Vosk perform at Water Mill restaurant Calissa’s “Broadway Out East” series last week despite the pouring rain.  

But a soggy tent wasn’t the only issue. “A thunder strike blew the power out while Vosk was performing a rendition of ‘Empire State of Mind,'” says a spy. 

But in true form, the show must go on. We’re told Vosk continued singing despite it being dark and having no mic. “She didn’t miss a beat,” says the spy. “It was a sight to behold.”

We’re told the venue managed to fix the situation within 10 minutes. 

On Broadway, Vosk played the lead role of Elphaba — the musical’s not so wicked Wicked Witch — from 2018 to 2019.

Harris Instagrammed her singing, stating “Jessica Vosk slays me… Her Elpheba singing is unreal. Getting to see her perform live tonight restored my faith in talent and authenticity. Jessica is focused, effortless, just exquisite.” 

High praise coming from a four-time Tony Awards host. Harris also starred in the shows “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” and “Cabaret” himself.

Calissa’s music series previously hosted Wyclef Jean, who performed for three hours in front of a crowd that included Hamptons Magazine publisher Lynn Scotti, and Noah Tepperberg and his yoga instructor wife, Melissa Wood.

Other Broadway stars joining the upcoming lineup include Orfeh, Andy Karl and “Kimmy Schmidt” star Tituss Burgess.
