Aaron Lazar, who currently plays Fabrizio in the romantic musical The Light in the Piazza, will join an array of stars in celebrating Cupid with New Voices: My Funny Valentine, which will be presented at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia (2537 Broadway at 95th Street) on February 13th by the New Voices Collective.

Kate Baldwin, Will Chase, Jill Geddes, Rebecca Luker, and Daniel Reichard  are among the other stars who will wax romantic in the concert, which will feature songs by on-the-rise composers and lyricists such as Jennifer Allen, Scott Burkell, Mark Campbell, Sam Davis, David Evans, Jenny Giering, Faye Greenberg, Michael Gruber, Sean Hartley, Tom Herman, Lance Horne, Paul Loesel, Steve Marzullo, Georgia Stitt and Joseph Thalken.

Annette Jolles will direct the show, while Danny Burstein (Luker's husband) will take up hosting duties. The band will include Marco Paguia on piano, Ed Matthew on clarinet and Clay Ruede on cello.

Lazar's previous Broadway credits include Oklahoma! and The Phantom of the Opera.  Other credits include Hallelujah, Baby! (off-Broadway), The Scarlet Pimpernel (on national tour) and On The Town (in London).
