The Music of Frank Wildhorn, a concert featuring the composer of Jekyll & Hyde and Dracula, will be held on Mondays September 5, 12, and 19 at Joe’s Pub in Manhattan, and also September 23-24 at the Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center in Marlton, New Jersey.

Set to join Wildhorn on these evenings are Broadway stars Rob Evan, who played the title role in Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway; Kate Shindle, a former Miss America who also starred in that show; Michael Lanning, who appeared on Broadway in Wildhorn’s The Civil War; and Tracy Miller, who currently plays Penny Pingleton in Hairspray.

In addition to numbers from the aforementioned shows, the concerts will feature selections from The Scarlet Pimpernel, Camille Claudel, Cyrano, Havana, Vienna, and Waiting for the Moon, which recently had a run at the Lenape Center. Wildhorn received a Tony Award nomination for Best Score for The Civil War. He has also written numerous pop hits, including “Where Do Broken Hearts Go,” which was recorded by Whitney Houston.
