Back for their 10th encore special benefit presentation, Neil Berg, Rob Evan and a star-studded Broadway cast will perform an evening night of Broadway show-stoppers, popular hits and holiday classics.

Hosted by Neil and "Irvington's very own adopted Broadway star Rob Evan," this year's performers credits include The Boy from Oz, Miss Saigon, Aida, Times They Are A-Changin', The Woman in White, as well as Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Fiddler on the Roof, and many more. Performers' availability is always subject to change.

With composer, pianist, and musical director Berg at the helm, and featuring a five-piece band, the evening will take place at the intimate Town Hall Theater.

Continuing his long collaboration with Mr. Berg and once again starring in this year's version of "All Star Broadway Holiday Concert" is Rob Evan, known for his portrayal of the title characters in the original Broadway cast of Jekyll & Hyde.  His other credits include Les Miserables, Little Shop of Horrors, and Dance of the Vampires.  He is also a featured vocalist for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

Also scheduled to appear are Tony Award-winner Jarrod Emick (Damn Yankees, Ring of Fire), Rita Harvey (Fiddler on the Roof, The Phantom of the Opera), Danny Zolli (Jesus Christ Superstar), Lisa Brescia (The Times They Are A-Changin,' The Woman in White), Tad Wilson (For the Glory, The Full Monty) and Olivier Award-nominated song and dance team Kirby and Beverly Ward (Crazy for You).

Berg, producing artistic director of Broadway concert series in New York City and Nyack, NY, also served as producer of the memorable BC/EFA "Chess in Concert" performances. Many theatergoers know him as composer of the recent Off-Broadway family hit The Prince and the Pauper, as well as The Man Who Would Be King, Tim and Scrooge, and the upcoming Grumpy Old Men.
