Brickman made his Broadway debut in 2007 with Young Frankenstein. His show for which he is co-director and producer, "Once Upon A Dream" starring The Rascals completed a sold out Broadway run.[4] featuring The Rascals.[5]
On July 4, 2015, Billboard reported that Brickman's lighting of the Empire State Building in New York was designed as a tribute to the Grateful Dead's Fare Thee Well shows at Soldier Field in Chicago and Independence Day, New York's iconic skyscraper turned red, white and blue, with a "swirl of the color spectrum" to approximate the band's tied-dyed ethic.[6]
