Broadway, television, and film talents, including Santino Fontana, Tamar Greene, Dan Lauria, Wendie Malick, Patty McCormack, Javier Muñoz, James Naughton, Kelli O’Hara, and NaTasha Yvette Williams, saluted, through songs and scenes, 95 years of productions that have gone from the page to the stage at the Playhouse since its founding in 1931.
