FOSTERING IN THE LIGHT
New York City Center is offering a new digital program which was filmed live: Sutton Foster|Bring Me to Light. Foster does one mean concert, and now she’s taking over City Center for an event with friends celebrating their connections to the historic theater and reflecting on the challenges facing all of us in this time. Through a collection of solos, duets, and group numbers, the cast enlivens the theater with the hope of things to come. Filmed live at City Center, the concert premieres Wednesday, April 28 at 7pm ET, with on demand viewing through Monday, May 31.
Bring Me to Light features performances by Broadway star Kelli O’Hara; Foster’s student at Ball State University Wren Rivera; Raúl Esparza and Joaquina Kalukango, former cast mates who will reminisce and perform songs from their shared productions at City Center—Anyone Can Whistle and The Wild Party. Directed by Leigh Silverman, with Jeanine Tesori serving as Creative Producer, the songs include music theater favorites from Camelot, Oklahoma!, South Pacific, Violet, and more. The cast is accompanied by Music Director Michael Rafter (piano) and Matt Hinkley (guitar).
Digital access for Sutton Foster|Bring Me to Light starts at $35, with additional packages including behind-the-scenes footage, and are on sale now at NYCityCenter.org.
