Hot Shot! The Lion's Benjamin Scheuer Celebrates Opening Night with Composers Tom Kitt & Andrew Lippa

The stirring coming-of-age tale The Lion is roaring at off-Broadway’s Lynn Redgrave Theatre, and on February 8, 2015, writer and star Benjamin Scheuer celebrated the show’s opening night. Directed by Sean Daniels, The Lion is a true story of the redemptive power of music—so naturally, If/Then composer Tom Kitt and John & Jen composer Andrew Lippa were on hand to cheer Scheuer on! Screen star Caroline Rhea (below) and more stars were also on hand to celebrate. Check out these photos from the opening night festivities, then catch The Lion off-Broadway!
