The concert will feature Kimball, Ripley, Matt Cavenaugh, Bob Martin, Karen Ziemba, Tovah Feldshuh and Mandy Gonzalez, with additional cast members to be announced.

Created, written and hosted by Scott Siegel, The Best of Broadway by the Year will feature Leavel, Kerry O’Malley, Karen Akers, Lari White, Christine Andreas, William Michals, Christina Bianco, Carole J. Bufford, Jeffry Denman and Noah Racey. The actors will perform the most popular showstoppers from the long-running Town Hall series.
