Founded by Broadway performer DeAngelis in memory of his mother Janice, who passed from metastatic breast cancer in 2022, this annual event serves as a celebration of Janice and her love for theatre while raising money for those affected by metastatic breast cancer.

“The Janice Jam isn’t just a concert—it’s a rallying cry,” said DeAngelis during the show.

The event was executive-produced by DeAngelis and Bryan Campione with Kim Blair, Ember Productions (Amber Coates, Maxwell Haddad, and Katie Michelle Stahl), Larkin Bogan, Tami Eagle Bowling, Katie Michelle Stahl, and PJ Adzima. Jen Ash was the production stage manager, and Alice M. Pollitt was assistant stage manager. Benjamin Rauhala music directed. A pre-show set featured DJ Choppy and Astroband, and an afterparty was hosted at Hurley's.
