This special event will be helmed by the show’s original music director, Kimberly Grigsby, and feature its original percussionist, Shane Shanahan, and cellist Christopher Cortez. The evening will conclude with the premiere of a new song by lyricist Mark Campbell and composer Jake Landau in a short tribute to the show’s original director, the late David Schweizer.
