A host of Broadway notables, all alumni of Roundabout Theatre Company productions, have joined the starry roster for the upcoming, previously announced one-night-only Broadway benefit concert set to be headlined by Tony winner Kristin Chenoweth. Kristin: An Evening With Friends for Todd will celebrate late Roundabout Artistic Director Todd Haimes at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre April 15, with Warren Carlyle directing and choreographing.
Chenoweth has enjoyed a long association with Roundabout, having appeared in the company's 1997 Off-Broadway production of Scapin, along with The Apple Tree and On the Twentieth Century on Broadway. She's a Tony winner for her performance in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, and iconically created the role of Glinda in Wicked.
VIP tickets will include access to an exclusive post-show party following the performance.
Proceeds from the evening will support Roundabout's many programs and initiatives, including its education offerings.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
