Beth Leavel, Max Von Essen & More Set for BROADWAY UNDER THE STARS Concert at Lincoln Harbor Park, 8/26

Summer Concerts on the Hudson will present a one-night-only celebration of the Great White Way on Monday, August 26th at 7 PM.

They are currently working on the Broadway-bound new Harold Arlen musical One For My Baby. Scott Thompson has directed and choreographed 100 award-winning musical theatre productions with major stars across the country, and Fred Barton is a Broadway conductor, symphonic arranger, and TV composer.
