His desire to be part of this show only reinforces my belief that the mix of brilliant new talent and old school Broadway provides the alchemy that keeps the Great White Way GREAT! We're delighted to welcome Corbin's fans into the world of Broadway music where Corbin will thrive and they will discover some of the greatest music they've ever experienced, performed by a sensational cast of twenty performers!
