The Voices of Our Times series celebrates stories and perspectives from remarkable individuals, and what better way to experience those voices than through the uniquely American art form of the Broadway musical?
Musical theater was born in the United States and flourished in the heart of New York City, evolving into one of the country’s greatest cultural achievements. This special evening shines a spotlight on that legacy, blending captivating performance with rich historical insight.
Join North Alabama native and former Broadway performer Jo Lynn Burks as she takes us on a musical journey through the history and highlights of Broadway. From beloved classics to behind-the-scenes anecdotes, Ms. Burks shares the evolution of American musical theater, spotlighting its legendary composers, directors, and stars. With a career that spans performances on Broadway and at esteemed venues like The Carlyle, The Plaza, and even Pat O’Brien’s in New Orleans, she brings a wealth of experience – and a few delightful stories – to the stage.
Joining her is Keith Buterbaugh, a veteran of The Phantom of the Opera, who uniquely played both Raoul and the Phantom during his time with the show.
Also sharing the stage is Broadway luminary Lee Summers, a member of the original Broadway company of Dreamgirls. A published playwright and professor of theater at NYU, Mr. Summers will perform and co-emcee the evening alongside Ms. Burks.
To complete the New York atmosphere, enjoy a sumptuous dinner curated by Chef James Boyce, a New York native himself – a culinary nod to the flavors of the city that never sleeps.
Special guest Miss America, Cassie Donegan, will be in attendance to complete the perfect New York-style evening.
So, kick up your heels and join us for an unforgettable cabaret-style celebration of Broadway – featuring the stories, songs, and spirit of the American state, brought to life by those who’ve lived it.
No 5 after 5 this evening.
