By: Kelsey Denette Jun. 25, 2012
The New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) has announced that Tony Award winner Ben Vereen has been named the honorary chairman of the 2012 festival.
“The theater was my first training ground. It taught me discipline, dedication and appreciation of hard work and values that will stay with me a lifetime,” said Ben Vereen. “The stage sharpens the creative instrument and encourages you to go deeper inside and try new things. It is a true honor to be the honorary chairman of the 2012 New York Musical Theatre Festival as I know first hand that sometimes all talented people need is a chance.”
Mr. Vereen’s concert act “Steppin’ Out With Ben Vereen” will play Broadway’s nightclub, 54 Below from July 10-21st.
