The Broadway Education Alliance has announced that the Camp Broadway Ensemble will perform with The New York Pops at their 40th Birthday Gala at Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage at Carnegie Hall on Monday, May 1, 2023, at 7:00 pm. The New York Pops acclaimed Music Director and Conductor Steven Reineke will direct The New York Pops' world-renowned 78-member orchestra and an all-star concert event honoring the Grammy, Tony, and Emmy Award-winning icon, Barry Manilow. The Camp Broadway Ensemble joins a roster of guest artists that includes Sean Bell, Erich Bergen, Charo, Deborah Cox, Danny Kornfield, Norm Lewis, Melissa Manchester, Zal Owen, Eric Peters, Blake Roman, Billy Stritch, Steven Telsey, Max von Essen, and Dionne Warwick.

Camp Broadway Ensemble Artistic Director Theo Lencicki and Music Director Christine Riley cast the 45-member ensemble that features talented tween and teen performers, ages 12-17, from 35 cities across America and Jakarta, Indonesia. To prepare for this special performance, the cast will participate in an intensive 3-day music and movement rehearsal that includes a masterclass in Manilow-era dance styles taught by Broadway musical theater performer Stephane Duret (Kinky Boots). Antonio Consuegra (Assistant Costume Designer, Funny Girl) is designing the costumes for this one-night-only performance.

This year's concert marks Camp Broadway's 15th appearance with the New York Pops. "We are thrilled to have Camp Broadway join us once again for our 40th Birthday Gala," says Anne Swanson, The New York Pops President and Executive Director.
