Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts has announced the lineup of performances for the 2025 iteration of its American Songbook concert series, including several highlights for Broadway fans. The upcoming season will focus on uplifting the voices of women and non-binary artists.
Tony winner Shaina Taub will offer a concert March 21, 2025 at Jazz At Lincoln Center's Appel Room. Taub received two Tony Awards for penning the book and score of Broadway's Suffs, in which she also stars. Her stage credits also include Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 and New York City Center's Ragtime. Taub will be backed by a full band and joined by special guests for the American Songbook concert.
Theatrical highlights will also include Night Side Songs, penned by We Live In Cairo writers The Lazours (Daniel and Patrick) and presented January 14-19 in the Clark Studio Theater. According to press notes, the production "gives voice to doctors, patients, researchers, and caregivers to meld the realms of the well and the sick."
On April 10 in the David Rubenstein Atrium, Lincoln Center will present an evening celebrating the memory of legendary performer Chita Rivera, featuring the American Pops Orchestra. Guests are encouraged to follow in Rivera's footsteps and dance.
“Building on our history and in conversation with our contemporary community of artists, this season features works of deep spiritual resonance, creative curiosity, and innovative experimentation," Ehrenkranz Chief Artistic Officer Shanta Thake said in a statement. "We hope neighbors and New Yorkers from across the city will come to Lincoln Center and find artistry that inspires, speaks to their humanity, and galvanizes hope for our shared future.”
