Broadway stars Brooks Ashmanskas, Jonathan Dokuchitz, and Mary Testa will join singer/songwriter Amanda Green and musical director Tom Kitt for a performance and CD signing at 6pm on Wednesday, February 22 at Tower Records Lincoln Center as part of the store’s Any Wednesday series. They will perform selections from Green’s CD Put a Little Love in Your Mouth.

Green is the daughter of legendary lyricist Adolph Green and Tony Award winning actress Phyllis Newman. She and Kitt are currently writing a musical version of the film High Fidelity. Ashmanskas has starred on Broadway in The Producers and will be seen this spring in Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me. Dokuchitz’s Broadway credits include Tommy, Hairspray and The Look of Love. Testa is a two-time Tony Award nominee for On the Town and 42nd Street; earlier this season, she appeared in See What I Wanna See at The Public Theater.

Also appearing in the Any Wednesday series this month are cabaret stars Maude Maggart (February 8) and Barbara Brussell (February 15). Next month’s performers will include Brian Lane Green (March 1), Isabelle Georges (March 8), Mark Nadler and KT Sullivan (March 15) and Debbie Gravitte (March 22). All performances are free and will last approximately 30 minutes.
