Tony Award winner and recent Grammy Award nominee Alex Newell will join Shoshana Bean’s one-night-only holiday concert at Harlem’s Apollo Theater on Monday, December 4. Broadway Inspirational Voices, recipient of a 2019 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, will also join the lineup, which includes previously announced special guests Kristin Chenoweth and Betty Who, who current plays Persephone in Hadestown.
