Jeff Marx and Robert Lopez, the Tony Award-winning composers of AVENUE Q, have just signed on to perform some of their trunk songs in tonight's AVENUE Q SWINGS! benefit at Birdland. The musical extravaganza will also feature very special guest stars singing songs from Avenue Q in jazz, classical and other surprising arrangements. At press time, the cast includes Broadway performers Barrett Foa, Ann Harada, Stephanie D'Abruzzo, Christian Anderson, Karen Mason, and Christine Pedi. The musical director for the show will be composer/arranger Mary Ann McSweeney, who plays bass each night in the Avenue Q orchestra on Broadway.
The event will be a benefit for The Jazz Foundation of America and the New Orleans Musicians' Clinic, both of which have been helping musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina find temporary and permanent housing, free healthcare and musical instruments.
