A host of Broadway notables, all alumni of Roundabout Theatre Company productions, have joined the starry roster for the upcoming, previously announced one-night-only Broadway benefit concert set to be headlined by Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth. Kristin: An Evening With Friends for Todd will celebrate late Roundabout Artistic Director Todd Haimes at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre April 15, with Warren Carlyle directing and choreographing.
Chenoweth has enjoyed a long association with Roundabout, having appeared in the company's 1997 Off-Broadway production of Scapin, along with The Apple Tree and On the Twentieth Century on Broadway. She's a Tony winner for her performance in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and iconically created the role of Glinda in Wicked.
VIP tickets will include access to an exclusive post-show party following the performance.
Proceeds from the evening will support Roundabout's many programs and initiatives, including its education offerings.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
