Tim Realbuto to Honor Shaiman & Wittman in LIVE IN LIVING COLOR at the Beechman, 6/9

After his critically acclaimed and sold-out concert honoring composer Maury Yeston, singer/songwriter Tim Realbuto (Ghostlight; Wunderkind) returns to the concert stage to honor more of his favorite composers with 'Tim Realbuto: Live In Living Color', an evening celebrating the songwriting duo of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who are responsible for hits such as Hairspray and Catch Me If You Can.

The June 9th concert event will take place at 7:00 PM at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street, NYC) and promises to feature Realbuto's interpretation of many of Shaiman and Wittman's biggest hits.

Realbuto, who is known to feature many exciting guest stars at each of his shows, will continue that tradition with 'Live In Living Color.' Special guests so far include "That's So Raven" star Anneliese van der Pol (Beauty and the Beast; Vanities), Derek Klena (Dogfight; The Bridges of Madison County), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" star Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked; bare), Laurissa Romain (Top Five; South Pacific), Kimberly Faye Greenberg (One Night With Fanny Brice; Little Wars), Lauren Testerman (Love Quirks), Emily Esposito (Bookseller in the Rain), Katie Mack (Avarice), and Realbuto's Ghostlight co-writer Matthew Martin. Other special guests include Michael Kidney, Paul Mitchell, Monty Renfrow, and Laurie Ann Sheppard. More exciting names, as well as a full ensemble list, will be announced within the coming weeks. Musical direction is being provided by Realbuto's longtime collaborator Julianne Merrill (Allegro).

Mr. Shaiman and Mr. Wittman cannot guarantee their attendance at the concert due to scheduling issues.

On March 30th, Mr. Realbuto will play the role of Alan in the highly anticipated workshop of 'Mean the musical' written by Grammy Award winning pop icon P!nk.

On June 2nd, he will star in 'Yes', a two-person drama he also wrote and directed. This summer, Realbuto will take his highly acclaimed solo show 'Wunderkind' to The New York Musical Theatre Festival. Finally, in late October, Tim will continue the tradition of honoring his favorite composers when he and actor Robert Agis present an evening together featuring the music of Frank Wildhorn.
