'Five decades of Broadway history will be represented in this unique concert' said Siegel. 'Every decade from the 1960s to the present will be heard on The Town Hall stage on Sunday afternoon. I'm particularly delighted to welcome the Tony nominated star of Jekyll& Hyde, Robert Cuccioli, to the Town Hall stage in both the Tribute to Lerner & Loewe concert on Friday and the Broadway Originals! concert on Sunday. I'm thrilled that this year,we were are working with incredible stars as Gary Beach, Alice Ripley, Karen Morrow, Kerry Butler, Cheryl Freeman, and Lucie Arnaz. Among recent Broadway standouts, it's a kick to get Bobby Steggert from the recent revival of 110in the Shade, Michael Arden who starred in The Times They Are A-Changin', and Alli Mauzey from Cry-Baby.'
