McCarter Theatre’s Annual Gala Benefit

It’s cold outside now, but this June McCarter Theatre is going to really heat things up! This year’s must-attend event features a rare performance by the legendary Burt Bacharach, award-winning composer of over 70 Top 40 hits, including “What The World Needs Now,” “Close To You,” “I Say A Little Prayer,” “Do You Know The Way To San Jose,” “The Look of Love,” “That’s What Friends Are For,” “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,” and “Arthur’s Theme (Best That You Can Do). ” Bacharach, who received his seventh Grammy award (this time for Lifetime Achievement) in February, is considered to be one of the greatest composers of popular music of our time, so this is one show you just can’t miss.

And that’s just part of the fabulous evening. In fact, there has never been a McCarter Gala so swanky!
