Library of Congress Sets Jonathan Larson Tribute Concert for October (Corrected)
August 18, 2006 – The Library of Congress' concert series for the fall includes one star-studded event that theater lovers should mark on their calendars. On Monday, October 23, Anthony Rapp and Gwen Stewart, who starred in the original production of Jonathan Larson's Rent, will lead a cast including Jeremy Kushnier (The Rhythm Club, Footloose), Michael McElroy (Big River), Natascia Diaz (Seussical, The Capeman) and Randy Graff (Fiddler on the Roof, A Class Act) in songs by Larson and by composers who received grants from the foundation set up in his memory upon his death just before the Broadway opening of Rent. The concert is a likely sell out just about as soon as the free tickets go on sale. Explanation? The free tickets are distributed through TicketMaster and carry a $2.75 service charge plus additional charges for phone orders and handling. The tickets for this event become available on the morning of September 13 at TicketMaster outlets, online at TicketMaster's website, or by phone at 301-808-6900 or 410-752-1200. Out of area residence may use 800-551-7328. Before the concert there will be a presentation by the Library's Mark Horowitz in the Whitehall Pavilion. (Note that the list of participants is slightly different than that reported earlier today. A correction was received at noon on the August 18 and we have made the appropriate corrections.)
