"Remember when "Total Eclipse of the Heart" wasn't a show tune?...So dig deep into to your closet and find your Members Only jackets and leg warmers, it is time to break your crimping iron out of storage. Don't expect to hear and Sondheim or Schwartz; it'll be more like Culture Club and Duran Duran as some of Broadways biggest talents sing some of rock's greatest songs...This show lets you in on Broadway's dirty little secret--its stars love to go unscripted for a night and let loose with the kind of music they never get to sing on stage," state press notes.
