Les Miserables, will sing a selection from the new musical Amazing Grace: The True Story, scheduled to debut in Spring 2009 and opera singer Jerry Curry will sing a piece from The Student Prince.
The evening will also feature a number of dance performances from the internationally recognized group Project Dance and the New York-based troupe, The Essentials.
The Broadway Blessing Choir, under the direction of Cathedral organist Timothy Brumfield, will sing show tunes and lead the audience in a sing-along at the end of the service.
