The Moore Center is selling advanced seating to the November 1 event and offering a meet and greet session with Schoenfeld and McPherson after the performances. After winding up its Broadway run this June, Brooklyn will head out on an international tour, "bringing the story of homelessness, hardship and triumph to audiences around the world," according to press notes.

Having gone through a period of homelessness himself, Schoenfeld will talk about overcoming adversity and the importance of lending a hand to others during his keynote speech at the annual meeting. His address will be followed by the performance of several songs from Brooklyn.

Brooklyn was directed and choreographed by Tony Award-nominee Jeff Calhoun, and featured music supervision, arrangements and orchestrations by Grammy and Emmy-Award winner John McDaniel. The show performances on September 23rd, 2004 and opened officially on October 21st, 2004 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre (236 West 45th Street). It had played 28 preview and 283 regular performances when it closed on June 26th, 2005. The musical starred Eden Espinosa as its title soulfully-voiced title character, and also featured Cleavant Derrick, Ramona Keller and others in its cast.
