Mark McVey, who will sing a selection from the musical Amazing Grace: The True Story. The evening will also feature acclaimed Shakespearean actor Casey Groves and dance performances from the internationally recognized group Project Dance.

The Broadway Blessing Choir, under the direction of Director of Cathedral Music Bruce Neswick, will sing show tunes and lead the audience in a sing-a-long at the end of the service.
