The performance will take place June 24.
THE GREEN ROOM 42 will present Broadway songstress Sally Wilfert and Broadway music director and composer Steve Marzullo in their new show “Stop This Train” on Monday, June 24 at 7:00 PM. “Stop This Train” features songs from Rodgers & Hammerstein, Lucinda Williams, and Burt Bacharach, along with original tunes by Steve, including Sally singing the premiere of a brand-spanking new Marzullo song.
“Steve and I are friends and frequent collaborators,” says Wilfert. “We've known each other through theatre and recording projects over the past 20 years and have always wanted to do an evening together. We started working to that end prior to the pandemic, so we're very excited to finally be bringing this show to a live audience at The Green Room 42!”
