Honoring Barbara Siegel

An extraordinary array of musical theater stars will perform at the Metropolitan Room to pay tribute to Barbara Siegel, a theater critic and columnist who has been a nominator for both the Outer Critics Circle and The Drama Desk (the latter for a total of 18 years, 12 of them as chairperson). She has influenced the careers of countless performers, a great many of whom are converging at the Metropolitan Room to say thank you. A percentage of the profits for this event will be turned back to the people Barbara loves so much by making this event a benefit for the Actor’s Fund.
