The cast will also include George Ball, Roger Befeler, Theodore Bikel, Rod Gilfry, Jason Graae, Harry Groener, Kim Huber, Elissa Johnston, Michele Lee, Jo Sullivan Loesser, Amanda McBroom, Ken Page, Nita Whitaker and Wesla Whitfield.
The Salon will feature many popular Loesser songs such as “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” “Happy to Make Your Acquaintance,” “Heart and Soul,” “I Believe in You,” “Slow Boat to China,” “Joey, Joey, Joey,” “Standing on the Corner” and “Sit Down, You’re Rocking the Boat.”
A post-performance cast party in the Grand Hall of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion will immediately follow the Salon performance. The event will benefit Hot Tix, one of CTG’s discount ticket programs.
