Summer Mann

Ben Folds is a singer/songwriter with a modern pop edge. The Mann Center has signed him on to play with the Philadelphia Orchestra for The Ben Folds Orchestral Experience. Together, they will perform his first concerto and a number of his 'pop gems.' However, according to Philly.com, it hasn't been the easiest experience for him.

Broadway veteran and GLEE star Jonathan Groff stars opposite original cast member Alfred Molina in the Los Angeles premiere of RED at the Mark Taper Forum. Groff plays Ken (orignally played by Tony winner Eddie Redmayne) in the play, alongside Molina who reprises his Tony-nominated role as Mark Rothko. Michael Grandage directs.
