Christina Applegate (Sweet Charity), country singer Billy Currington (Mercury Records), Rachelle Rak (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels) and The Radio City Rockettes will also show up for special appearances.

Tony Award-Winner Scott Wittman (Hairspray) will direct the performance and Music Director Phil Reno conducts the 30-piece live orchestra.

Bryant Park is located between 40th – 42nd Street at 6th Avenue; the lawns open at 6 PM before the 8:30 concert.
