And finally, there's Sharon Catherine Brown who was hand-picked by the original created team of Dreamgirls including director/choreographer Michael Bennett to star as Effie White. She will recreate the role she played from coast-to-coast and will end the night with her soul-searing "And I Am Telling You".

On Monday April 3rd, Seth will return with Tales from Broadway Tours starring Tony Award nominees Rob McClure (Mrs. Doubtfire), Anika Larsen (Beautiful) and one more to-be-announced star.
