Featured Performers

 

Ben Cameron
Ben is a Broadway veteran who appeared in the original Broadway casts of Footloose, Aida, and a little show called Wicked. If you listen to the second track of the Wicked cast album, you’ll hear Ben drop the pivotal plot line: “Glinda, is it true you were her friend?”

Britt Mack
Britt is a powerhouse performer and an original cast member of the Tony Award-winning Six: The Musical, where she played Anna of Cleves. Her unforgettable number, “Get Down,” became a fan favorite as she declared: “I’m the queen of the castle. Get down, you dirty rascal.”

Get early access to the evening with a private pre-event gathering with Ben Cameron and Britt Mack.

  • Time: 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM
