When: This event took place on September 2, 2018
We recently had the opportunity to attend a show at Feinstein's/54 Below in which young actors who are currently appearing or recently appeared in Broadway shows sang songs with older actors who appeared in shows when they were kids. The show was really great. The songs choices included both Broadway shows songs and pop songs and were well matched to the performers. The performers voices blended really well for the most part. The entire evening was a joyous and fun experience.
