Lincoln Center Theater will present a concert of William Finn’s new song cycle Elegies on Sundays and Mondays in March.

The concert will feature Broadway stars Carolee Carmello (Kiss Me, Kate, Parade), Betty Buckley (Cats, 1776), Michael Rupert (Ragtime, Falsettos), Christian Borle (Amour, Jesus Christ Superstar), and Keith Byron Kirk (The Civil War, A New Brain), under the direction of Graciela Daniele and the musical direction of Vadim Feichtner.

Finn won Tonys for the score and book of Falsettos, the Broadway show that combined two of his one-act musicals, March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland. He also composed the scores for In Trousers, Romance In Hard Times, and A New Brain, which was produced by Lincoln Center Theater.

Elegies will play March 2-30 at Lincoln Center’s Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater. All tickets are $20 and will be on sale as of February 21; they may be purchased at the Lincoln Center Theater box office (150 West 65th Street), by calling Telecharge at 212-239-6200, or by visiting the website http://www.lct.org.
