The one-night-only event will include performances by Clyde Alves, Tony winner Len Cariou, Lilli Cooper, Tony winner Gavin Creel, Tony nominee Ariana DeBose, Nathan Lee Graham, Robyn Hurder, Tony winner Rachel Bay Jones, Caitlin Kinnunen, Caissie Levy, Isabelle McCalla, Tony winner Donna McKechnie, Bonnie Milligan. two-time Emmy Award and Tony winner Bebe Neuwirth, two-time Tony nominee Andrew Rannells, Tony nominee Jarrod Spector, Academy Award and Tony nominee Kathleen Turner, plus the Grammy Award-nominated Broadway Inspirational Voices.
