A Broadway quartet comprised of Celia Keenan-Bolger, Julia Murney, Chuck Cooper and Jenn Gambatese will perform at Theatreworks/USA's annual Gala Benefit on October 24th.

It will be held at the Hudson Theatre in Millennium Broadway Hotel (145 West 44th Street), with the 8 PM concert preceded by cocktails and a silent auction at 6 PM and dinner at 7:30 PM. In addition to the four stars, the casts of Junie B. Jones and Slut--two very different musicals--will make appearances. The Lee Salk Goodworks Award will also be given to cabaret performer and producer Jamie DeRoy and to literary advocate Verne Oliver.

Keenan-Bolger currently appears in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, for which she received a Tony Award nod; previous credits include the off-Broadway Michael John LaChiusa musical Little Fish, the pre-Broadway productions of The Light in the Piazza and Sweeney Todd at the Kennedy Center. Murney was recently one of the stars of Lennon. She previously appeared off-Broadway in Andrew Lippa's The Wild Party and in A Class Act. Cooper, who also performed in Lennon, won a Tony Award for his performance in The Life; Caroline, or Change, Chicago and Passion are some of his other Broadway credits. Gambatese has been seen on Broadway in All Shook Up, A Year with Frog and Toad, Hairspray and Footloose.
