The stars were on hand to celebrate three-time Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown October 25. In an evening conducted by Georgia Stitt, in her Carnegie Hall debut, Broadway favorites sang songs from Brown's extensive catalogue—accompanied by the composer himself.
Highlights of the evening included Heather Headley singing "It All Fades Away" from Bridges of Madison County; Raúl Esparza performing a cut song from Parade called "Big News!"; and Brown, Stitt, and their daughters performing "Sanctuary."
