This dynamic evening featured songs from "The Prince and the Pauper," "The 12," "The Man Who Would Be King," "Tim and Scrooge," and his upcoming Broadway musical, "Grumpy Old Men." Performing and hosting was Berg's longtime collaborator, Broadway star Rob Evan (Jekyll and Hyde, The Prince and the Pauper, Trans Siberian Orchestra), along with current Elphaba from Wicked, Mandy Gonzalez (Wicked, In The Heights), and special guest, Academy Award-winning actor F. Murray Abraham (Amadeus), who re-created his eleven o'clock song from "Grumpy Old Men." The cast also included Rita Harvey (Phantom of the Opera, Fiddler on the Roof), Lawrence Clayton (Dreamgirls, Bells are Ringing, The Civil War), Sophia Ramos (VH1's Best Undiscovered Artist, featured vocalist with Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden), and William Michals, who is currently playing the role of Emil de Beque in "South Pacific" at Lincoln Center.
