Beth and Allan have spent decades bringing musical theatre to the widest possible audience around the country and the world. Their respective companies, Grove Entertainment and Foresight Theatrical, develop and produce new work for Broadway and beyond.
The honorees were celebrated via performances by Broadway stars and NYMF alumni in an evening of entertainment directed by Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid). The proceedings were hosted by Anna Gilligan, entertainment reporter for FOX 5 News. FOX 5 has been a long-time supporter and official media partner of the New York Musical Theatre Festival.
