Tony-Award winning composer/lyricist William Finn will follow up his popular Infinite Joy concerts with William Finn: Even More Infinite Joy at the Kaufman Center's Merkin Concert Hall (129 W. 67th St, between Broadway and Amsterdam) tonight, October 31st at 8 PM.

The original concert was first performed at Joe's Pub in 2001, while More Infinite Joy came to Merkin Concert Hall in 2004. The first Infinite Joy concert is preserved on CD, with stars such as Carolee Carmello, Mary Testa and Liz Callaway performing from Finn's varied song catalogue. Finn will host the new concert, which will feature Michael Winther, Malcolm Gets, Darius DeHaas, Derrick Baskin, Kate Wetherhead, Lisa Howard, Sally Wilfert, Stephen DeRosa, Megan Lawrence, Lee Zarrett, Gi Hieh Lee, Chelsea Krombach, Michelle Ricci and Jason Weston as its performers.

Even More Infinite Joy will be presented as part of the Broadway Close-Up series.  It will feature a dozen songs from Finn's new work, Songs of Innocence and Experience, as well as numbers from other Finn musicals, including the workshopped but unproduced The Royal Family of Broadway.

Finn is currently represented on Broadway by his smash The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. He won two Tony Awards, score and book, for Falsettos (which was the Broadway incarnation of two off-Broadway musicals, March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland, from his "Marvin Trilogy"). His other shows include A New Brain, Elegies: A Song Cycle and In Trousers (also part of the Marvin Trilogy).

Tickets for Even More Infinite Joy are $35, and can be ordered by calling (212) 501-3330.
