Carolee Carmello, Stephen DeRosa, Alison Fraser, Michael Rupert, Mary Testa, Chip Zien, and member of the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will honor composer-lyricist William Finn at Second Stage Theatre’s annual gala benefit, to take place on Monday, June 6 at the Manhattan Center Studios, beginning at 7pm.
Directed by Lonny Price and hosted by Spelling Bee star (and Tony Award nominee) Dan Fogler, the tribute concert will feature musical highlights of Finn’s career, including songs from Falsettos, Elegies, A New Brain, and Spelling Bee, which has earned Finn a 2005 Tony Award nomination for Best Score. (The show was presented at Second Stage earlier this year before transferring to Broadway’s Circle in the Square.)
Individual tickets for the full gala evening, including dinner and cocktails, are available for $1,000-$3,000; concert-only tickets are available for $150. Call 212-787-8302, ext. 111 for information.
