Emmy Award nominated actress and Grammy Award winner Kathy Brier ("One Life To Live"; "Boardwalk Empire"; Broadway's Hairspray), Wicked star Christine Dwyer, Wendi Bergamini (Doctor Zhivago; Promises, Promises), Jennifer Fouché ("Smash"; Sistas the musical), and Elyssa Mactas (Mean the musical) complete the cast of Tim Realbuto's June 9th Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman tribute concert.


After his critically acclaimed and sold-out concert honoring composer Maury Yeston, singer/songwriter Tim Realbuto (Ghostlight; Wunderkind; Mean the musical) returns to the concert stage to honor more of his favorite composers with 'Tim Realbuto: Live In Living Color', an evening celebrating the songwriting duo of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who are responsible for hits such as Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can, and the fictional Bombshell musical from television's "Smash", which will enjoy a sold-out performance on June 8th at The Minskoff Theatre on Broadway.

The June 9th concert event will take place at 7:00 PM at The Laurie Beechman Theatre (407 West 42nd Street, NYC) and promises to feature Realbuto's interpretation of many of Shaiman and Wittman's biggest hits. The production note states: "Can't get a ticket to Bombshell? Don't feel bad. Neither could we. Join Tim Realbuto and some of Broadway's best as they celebrate two of our greatest living composers. Hear songs from Hairspray, Catch Me If You Can, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fame Becomes Me, and yes... Bombshell!"

Joining Brier, Dwyer, Bergamini, Fouché, and Mactas are previously announced guest stars, including "That's So Raven" star Anneliese van der Pol (Beauty and the Beast; Vanities), Derek Klena (Dogfight; The Bridges of Madison County), "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" star Jenna Leigh Green (Wicked; bare), Laurissa Romain (Top Five; South Pacific), Kimberly Faye Greenberg (Fabulous Fanny; Little Wars), Lauren Testerman (Love Quirks), Emily Esposito (Bookseller in the Rain), Katie Mack (Avarice), and Realbuto's Ghostlight co-writer Matthew Martin.

Other special guests include Kevin Riddagh (The Adonis), Michael Kidney (Ghostlight), Monty Renfrow (Distortion), Teresa Hui (Love Quirks), Michael Fisher (Mean the musical), Adena Walker (The Baker's Wife), Leigh Martha Klinger (Rebecca the musical; We Will Rock You), Natalie Ballenger (Orange Blossoms), Julie Reed (A Chorus Line), and Allison St. Rock (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson).
