Kate Baldwin, David Burnham, Matt Cavenaugh, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Stephen Pasquale, Max Von Essen, and others will perform Forward, a new song cycle written by Jonathan Reid-Gealt, at Makor (35 West 67th Street) on Monday, January 16 at 7pm.

The event will be presented by Jamie McGonnigal, who produced the recent World AIDS Day concert of The Secret Garden, and will be directed by Michael Mosallum. The cast also includes Adam Armstrong, Whitney Bashor, Bridie Carroll, Eric Imhoff, Chelsea Krombach, Kasey Marino, and Marty Thomas.

Forward features 16 different songs, each sung by a different character at a particular stage in his or her life. Reid-Gealt is a recent graduate of the Boston Conservatory; he has performed in regional productions of Mame, Cats, and Annie Get Your Gun, and has sung with the Boston Pops.

Baldwin was recently seen in Bush is Bad and White Christmas. Burnham is a member of the cast of The Light in the Piazza. Cavenaugh, Keenan-Bolger (who currently stars in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), Pasquale, and Von Essen all performed in The Secret Garden concert.
