The title tells you almost everything you need to know: An Evening of Classic Broadway finds Brad Ellis, the music director from Glee, assembling an array of performers from the stage to sing the best of classic Broadway songs. This iteration of this series takes place on Monday at Rockwell Table and Stage in Los Feliz.
The ensemble for this performance includes Barrett Foa (who recently appeared in Reprise 2.0’s production of Sweet Charity), Danny Gurwin (Broadway’s Urinetown and Little Women), Willis White (In the Heights and Hairspray!), Lindsay Pearce (Spring Awakening), Kristi Holden (The Phantom of the Opera), Kelly Dorney (Nice Work If You Can Get It) and Michele Maika (Les Misérables.) Ellis is the master of ceremonies and the music director. Dianne Fraser produces.
Whatever definition is used for “Classic Broadway,” the line-up, combined with Ellis’ assured knowledge of this music, means it will no doubt be an entertaining evening.
