Robert Cuccioli will step in for the previously announced Norm Lewis in the John W. Engeman Theater's 'Broadway Songbook' concert to be presented on Saturday, November 7 at 8PM. 'Broadway Songbook' will feature five of Broadway's finest vocalists will celebrate some of their most memorable musical moments from 'The Great White Way", display their great versatility and share amusing behind-the-scenes anecdotes.

Cuccioli is best known for his role as the lead in 'Jekyll and Hyde', for which he received a Tony Award nomination and won the Joseph Jefferson Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the Drama Desk Award, and the Fany Award. The evening will also showcase the talents of Drama Desk Award winner Lisa Howard (The 25th Anniversary Putnam County Spelling Bee, South Pacific, 9 to 5), Lauren Kennedy (Monty Python's Spamalot, Les Miserables, Sunset Boulevard, Side Show), Elizabeth Loyacano (The Phantom of the Opera, Oklahoma!, The Woman in White, Dracula the Musical) and Two-time Tony Award nominee and Three-time Drama Desk Award nominee Howard McGillin (Broadway's longest running Phantom of the Opera, The Kiss of the Spider Woman, She Loves Me, The Secret Garden, Anything Goes, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Sunday in the Park with George). Musical Director/Accompanist for the evening will be Fred Barton.

ALSO STARRING in both shows will be the stunning, glimmering blue art deco Steinway & Sons piano RHAPSODY. Designed by artist Frank Pollaro and inspired by legendary Steinway artist George Gershwin (CRAZY FOR YOU), this piano is a must see for any music enthusiast.

Crafted in tribute to the 100th anniversary of Gershwin's birth, the piano is dyed in brilliant blue and over 400 mother-of-pearl stars have been hand cut into the piano and inlaid in random fashion. The plate is gilded in silver to give the impression that the piano is emanating light when it is opened.

Tickets are available by calling 631-261-2900 or by visiting the Box Office at 250 Main Street, Northport NY. For more information, visit www.engemantheater.com
