Lindsay Mendez, Derek Klena & Meghann Fahy Join Benj Pasek & Justin Paul for Northeast Children's Theatre Company's Gala Tonight

The Northeast Children's Theatre Company, a not-for-profit arts education organization, has announced a star-studded lineup of entertainment for its 2nd Annual Broadway in Connecticut Gala. The fundraiser, set for tonight, October 25 in Fairfield, Connecticut, will feature an evening of music hosted by the Tony Award-nominated songwriting team of Benj Pasek & Justin Paul (DOGFIGHT, A CHRISTMAS STORY). Direct from Broadway, the concert will also feature performances by special guests Lindsay Mendez (WICKED, GODSPELL), Derek Klena (WICKED, BRIDGES OF MADISON COUNTY), and Meghann Fahy (NEXT TO NORMAL).

In addition to the all-star celebration of Pasek & Paul music, a live auction showcasing major Broadway packages, including house seats to IF/THEN followed by a backstage tour with director Michael Greif and star Idina Menzel, will be offered. Tyler Paul, the organization's Co-Founder and Executive Director commented, "We are honored to have this incredible roster of talent joining us. Between the show and the live auction, we believe this is the ultimate one-night-only gathering for theatre fans." Proceeds from the Gala benefit artistic programming for school audiences and educational initiatives for underserved children in disadvantaged communities.

The concert begins at 8:00 PM on Saturday, October 25, at the StageOne Theater. A limited number of tickets are currently available at the $100 VIP and $50 Standard level.
