Performing and hosting will be Berg’s longtime collaborator, Broadway star Rob Evan (Jekyll and Hyde, The Prince and the Pauper, Trans Siberian Orchestra), along with current Elphaba from Wicked, Mandy Gonzalez (Wicked, In The Heights), and special guest, Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus), who will re-create his eleven o’clock song from “Grumpy Old Men.” The cast also includes Rita Harvey (Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler on the Roof), Lawrence Clayton (Dreamgirls, Bells are Ringing, The Civil War), Sophia Ramos (VH1’s Best Undiscovered Artist, featured vocalist with Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden), Carter Calvert (It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues), and William Michals, who is currently playing the role of Emil de Beque in “South Pacific” at Lincoln Center.
