The free online event, hosted by Raúl Esparza, is set to take place on the exact 50th anniversary of the opening night of Sondheim's groundbreaking musical Company (the original production debuted on Broadway on April 26, 1970). Annaleigh Ashford, Laura Benanti, Melissa Errico, Beanie Feldstein, Josh Groban, Jake Gyllenhaal, Neil Patrick Harris, Judy Kuhn, Linda Lavin, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ben Platt, Randy Rainbow, and Lea Salonga will perform songs of inspiration from the Sondheim catalog. This once-in-a-lifetime event will also feature special appearances by Victor Garber, Joanna Gleason, Nathan Lane, and Steven Spielberg. They are joining the previously announced artists, many who delivered iconic turns in Sondheim's shows, including Meryl Streep, Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Audra McDonald, Mandy Patinkin, Christine Baranski, Donna Murphy, Kristin Chenoweth, Sutton Foster, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Kelli O'Hara, Aaron Tveit, Maria Friedman, Iain Armitage, Katrina Lenk, Michael Cerveris, Brandon Uranowitz, Stephen Schwartz, Elizabeth Stanley, Chip Zien, Alexander Gemignani and, from the cast of Pacific Overtures at Classic Stage Company, Ann Harada, Austin Ku, Kelvin Moon Loh and Thom Sesma. The evening's host and producer Raúl Esparza starred as Bobby in the highly acclaimed, Tony Award-winning revival of Company in 2006, and in the Kennedy Center Sondheim Celebration productions of Sunday in the Park (George) and Merrily We Roll Along (Charlie) in 2002, as well as the City Center Encores! production of Anyone Can Whistle (Hapgood) and, most recently, in last year's Road Show (Wilson). Drama Desk Award winner Mary-Mitchell Campbell is the evening's music director, with Paul Wontorek serving as director. This special online event will act as a fundraiser for ASTEP (Artists Striving to End Poverty), the organization conceived by Broadway Musical Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Juilliard students to transform the lives of youth using the most powerful tool they had: their art. Today, ASTEP connects performing and visual artists with youth from underserved communities in the U.S. and around the world to awaken their imaginations, foster critical thinking, and help them break the cycle of poverty. www.astep.org www.broadway.com |

| Yup. This season has been OUTSTANDING. (Actually, all of the seasons since ditching the Brody lodestone have been very, very good.) | |

| The press release specifies that the event begins at 8pm Eastern. But, it's on both Broadway.com and its YouTube Channel, which implies that it might continue to be available for a while. Anyone know whether I could watch the entire event starting at 8pm Pacific, instead of needing to tune at at 5pm Pacific to catch it? Bill, in San Diego |

| Yes, actually, I have a family birthday Zoom call that starts at 5pm. I wrote to Broadway.com with the question and haven’t heard back yet. I will post if they respond to me before air time, or even after air time. Bill, in San Diego |

| Below, I said I would love to see Raul Esparza and Sutton Foster perform "With So Little To Be Sure Of." Now I want another duet: Jake Gyllenhaal and Annaleigh Ashford doing "Move On" (as in, "Stop wondering where you're going, damned virus! Move on!"). It would be bittersweet if they did since I'm pretty sure this summer's "Sunday in the Park with George" in the West End, for which I have tickets, will eventually be canceled or postponed. | |

| Since Bernadette and Mandy are participating I think it would be most fitting for them to reprise it. | |

| Good point! Maybe Jake & Annaleigh can start the song and Mandy and Bernadette can take over midway through and finish it off — they could all sing together for the big finish! | |
