Broadway Sings Justin Timberlake, the sixth concert of the BROADWAY SINGS concert series, is set for tonight. More than 15 Broadway performers will be accompanied by a full jazz band playing brand new, original orchestrations of Timberlake's greatest hits. Previous artists honored in the series were Adele, Michael Jackson, Beyoncé, Stevie Wonder, and Amy Winehouse.

Performers include Tony Award winner Lena Hall (Hedwig and the Angry Inch), Shaleah Adkisson (Rent), Darren Bluestone (Avenue Q), Max Chernin, Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), Marcus Paul James (In the Heights), Crystal Joy (Motown The Musical), Chris McCarrell (LES MISERABLES), Andy Mientus (LES MISERABLES, "Smash") Jillian Mueller (Bye Bye Birdie), Shannon O'Boyle (Once), and Natalie Weiss (Everyday Rapture), who join the previously announced Jason Gotay (Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark), Amber Iman (Soul Doctor), Jay Armstrong Johnson (On The Town), Mykal Kilgore (The Book of Mormon), Corey Mach (Godspell), Marla Mindelle (Cinderella), Ciara Renée (Pippin), and Zak Resnick (Mamma Mia). Hall, Johnson, and Resnick will perform tonight, July 14 only. James and McCarrell will perform on July 21 only.

The two concerts will feature cover songs to celebrate Timberlake's iconic songs, including "Cry Me a River", "Suit and Tie", and "My Love", as well as popular hits from his legendary boy band, 'N SYNC. The music will be orchestrated and arranged by Joshua Stephen Kartes.

In the late 1990s, Justin Timberlake rose to fame as the lead vocalist of boy band 'N SYNC. He became one of the most commercially successful singers of the decade after releasing his first two solo albums (Justified and FutureSex/LoveSounds), which both exceeded sales of seven million copies worldwide. Both his third and fourth albums (The 20/20 Experience, Parts 1 and 2) debuted at #1 on the charts. Timberlake's work has earned him nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards.

Broadway Sings Justin Timberlake, produced and directed by Corey Mach (Hands on a Hardbody, Wicked, Godspell), will celebrate the talent and success of this diverse, legendary artist.
