The evening celebrated the myriad of composers whose work have influenced the American theatre over the last century.

Norm Lewis, the first African American to star on Broadway as the title role in The Phantom of the Opera, sang the iconic "Music of the Night." Beth Malone recreated her Tony Award nominated performance from Fun Home recognizing Jeanine Tesori and Lisa Kron, the first female writing team to win the Tony Award for Best Original Score. Heather Headley brought down the house with "What I Did for Love" from A Chorus Line. Hits from Showboat, The Fantasticks, South Pacific, and West Side Story were also performed.

Tony Bennett made a surprise appearance recounting his fond memories of the support offered to him by the American Theatre Wing as a young GI returning from World War II, before the evening wrapped to "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" from Hair.
