Broadway veterans Colin Donnell (Violet) and Megan McGinnis (Little Women) will join two-time Tony winner Sutton Foster (The Wild Party) for the New York Pops open-air concert tomorrow, August 6. The show will inaugurate the group's new summer home, the Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York.

The bill will include Foster's renditions of John Denver’s "Sunshine on my Shoulders," and Cole Porter's "I Get a Kick Out of You," as a duet with McGinnis on the song "Flight." Donnell will also perform a duet with Foster, as well as sing "On the Streets of Dublin," from Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty's A Man of No Importance.

"It’s been a joy working with the New York Pops and with Steven Reineke, and I'm thrilled to join them in their inaugural season at Forest Hills Stadium," says Foster. "Steven brings an innovative, fun approach to symphonic pops concerts, and I feel lucky to share the stage with him and this brilliant orchestra. The musicians are sensitive and versatile, and the orchestra brings every chart it plays to life. Performing outdoors is such a joy. I can't wait to sing at Forest Hills Stadium with the great New York Pops!"

The New York Pops concerts at Forest Hills Stadium are family-friendly events and expand the orchestra's Kids in the Balcony program, which offers over 2,000 children an opportunity to learn about and enjoy live music for free.
