Neil Patrick Harris (Assassins), Lauren Kennedy (Spamalot) and Alan Campbell (Sunset Boulevard), among others, have signed on to the upcoming concert featuring the songs of David Kirshenbaum

"Places You've Never Been Before," as previously announced, will bring together an all-star cast performing selections from Kirshenbaum's shows Summer of '42, Party Come Here, and Vanities – A New Musical, as well as songs from some forthcoming projects and other new surprises.  

The show will take place on Monday, November 20 at 9:30pm and 11:30pm at Joe's Pub.

Scheduled to perform are David Burtka (Opposite of Sex, Gypsy), Kerry Butler (Little Shop of Horrors, Hairspray), Ryan Driscoll (Summer of '42), Fyvush Finkel (TV's "Picket Fences" and Boston Public), Barrett Foa (Spelling Bee, Avenue Q), Megan Hilty (Wicked), Celia Keenan-Bolger (Les Miserables, Spelling Bee), Leslie Kritzer (The Great American Trailer Park Musical), Terrence Mann (Beauty and the Beast, Les Miserables), Susan Owen (Phantom of the Opera), Jenny Powers (Little Women, Encores' Of Thee I Sing), Kate Reinders (Wicked), Miriam Shor (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Sarah Stiles (Spelling Bee) –  with Randy Aaron, Cathryn Basile, Justin Keyes, and Katie Klaus.

Kirshenbaum wrote the score for the off-Broadway musical Summer of '42 (book by Hunter Foster), which will be released later this fall as a 2-CD set on JAY Records.  His new show Party Come Here (book by Daniel Goldfarb) was recently seen at this year's New York Musical Theatre Festival.   And Vanities – A New Musical, his adaptation of the long-running hit play (book by its original author Jack Heifner) will be making its appearance on a New York stage next season following its unprecedented success at the NAMT Festival of New Musicals in October. Additionally, he wrote Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus (book by Myles McDonnell) and has composed for the Disney Channel series Johnny and the Sprites.  He received grants from the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation and the National Alliance for Musical Theatre.

Musical director Vadim Feichtner (Spelling Bee) leads a three-piece band, with additional arrangements by Lynne Shankel (Altar Boyz) and Carmel Dean (Vanities – A New Musical).  The evening is produced by Jayson Raitt.

Cover is $25 plus a 2 drink minimum or $12 food minimum per person at tables.  Joe's Pub is located within the Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Avenue. For tickets, call (212) 539-8778. More information can be found at www.joespub.com
