Tony Nominee Meg Bussert, Leenya Rideout, and More Set for TWO LEGIT TO QUIT

Tony Nominee Meg Bussert (Camelot, Brigadoon, The Music Man), Leenya Rideout (Company, War Horse, Cyrano de Bergerac), and Drama Desk nominee Jeremy Morse (Bloodsong of Love) are among the artists set to perform in Two Legit to Quit: a Riff- Free Evening May 14th at the Laurie Beechman.

The second in a series devoted to classic Broadway singing, TWO Legit to Quit: a Riff- Free Evening, will begin at 7:00 PM, and will explore legit-style musicals from 1960- Present.

The cast features Bussert (Camelot, Brigadoon, The Music Man), Nicole Dalto, Melanie Field (Evita, The Phantom of the Opera), Carrie A. Johnson (Sister Act), Paul Louis Lessard, Morse (Bloodsong of Love), Vince Oddo (American Idiot), Katerina Papacostas, Rideout (Company, War Horse, Cyrano de Bergerac), and Ryan Speakman (Oliver, Camelot).

According to the press notes, " In the rubble of the Golden Age of Broadway, a few musicals rose from the ashes and survived the Second Coming of Jesus Christ (Superstar). For one night only, we will explore the music from 1960- Present that gives the ever endangered legit singer a home in a world of witches and underaged triple- threats."

TWO Legit to Quit: a Riff-Free Evening will feature the music of Leslie Bricusse, Kander and Ebb, Ahrens and Flaherty, Andre Previn, Maury Yeston, and more. The evening will be music directed by Caleb Hoyer.

The concert will take place at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, May 14th at the Laurie Beechman Theater in the basement of the West Bank Cafe at 407 West 42nd St. Reservations can be made at 212-695-6909. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. There is a $15 cover and a $15 food/drink minimum.
