Alley Cats

Phylicia Rashad and Shirley Jones were among the many cool folks who turned out for this year’s Stars in the Alley concert.

New York City

The weather for the 2004 Stars in the Alley concert was certainly better than it was for the 2003 event. A sizeable crowd gathered in Shubert Alley this morning to enjoy selections from currently running Broadway musicals as performed by cast members; the concert was presented by Continental Airlines in partnership with the League of American Theatres and Producers. Among the many notables on hand as performers and representatives of musical and non-musical Broadway productions: Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun) and Shirley Jones (42nd Street)…
