The final show in The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center's In Concert series, previously scheduled for Monday, May 21st at 7 PM, has been canceled. The concert was to have starred Michael Rupert and Alison Fraser.
Tony Award-winner Rupert was ordered by his doctor to go on complete vocal rest, other than his commitments to Legally Blonde. The two original stars of March of the Falsettos were to have performed songs from the aforementioned show as well as early drafts of now-finished songs, new songs by upcoming voices in musical theatre, and William Finn-written gems cut from the show. Previous participants in the In Concert series include Tony Award-nominee Sherie Rene Scott (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, AIDA), Douglas Sills (Little Shop of Horrors, Tony nominee for The Scarlet Pimpernel), veteran singer Todd Murray, and Sally Wilfert (Broadway's Tom Sawyer and Assassins)"Established in 1983, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center is the largest LGBT community center organization on the East Coast.
