Lewis, Scott, Wilson, Etc. Set for Rockers on Bway, 1/29

Donnie Kehr, Cori Gardner and Good To Go Entertainment have announced the latest "Rockers On Broadway: Jersey Style" to take place on Monday January 29, 2007 at 8:00pm at BB King Blues Club & Grill (237 West 42nd Street).  "It is our mission to bring together the worlds of Rock 'n' Roll and Broadway in a unique way, while supporting inspirational charities including Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids and Wingspan Arts, Inc.," says creator Donnie Kehr.

"Rockers On Broadway" was founded by Donnie Kehr in 1993 during the Broadway run of The Who's Tommy, in which he appeared. Inspired by an idea from Pete Townshend, he wanted to give musical theatre performers the opportunity to experience the feeling of singing with a rock band in a concert style venue, so they could understand and transfer the rawness of that edge to the stage.

The evening is sponsored by Sara Lee, Macy's and The Frye Company, and will be hosted by actress/comedian, Caroline Rhea, star of "Sabrina, The Teenage Witch" and NBC's hit series "The Biggest Loser."

Headlining this edition of Rockers are the 4 leads from Broadway's smash hit, Jersey Boys – Daniel Reichard, J. Robert Spencer and 2006 Tony winners John Lloyd Young and Christian Hoff, along with country star Larry Gatlin, singer songwriter Kate Taylor and '60s favorites, The Tokens with their smash hit "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".  Broadway artists scheduled to appear at press time include:
