Michael
will join other Broadway performers in a tribute to Leonard Bernstein,
composer of such classics as On the Town, West Side Story
and Candide.
The tribute
is being presented by Musical Theatre Works. The not for profit
group is also celebrating their 20th anniversary.
Lonny Price
-- who directed Michael in this summer's concert version of Passion
and the musical workshop Doll -- will helm Bravo Bernstein!
Other performers include host David Hyde Pierce, Audra MacDonald,
Betty Buckly, Judy Blazer and many more.
The show will take place November 24th at the Hudson Theater
in Manhattan.
Proceeds from Bravo Bernstein! support MTW's artistic
and educational activities, which include 10 new musicals currently
in development and a newly-expanded college-to-career training program
called Springboard, NYC. Further details are available on the organizations
website www.mtwnyc.org.
