Westport Country Playhouse’s recent one-time fundraiser featured Broadway standouts Justin Paul, Kelli O’Hara and Aaron Tveit. Westport native Paul (La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen, The Greatest Showman, “Only Murders in the Building TV season 3”), a 2003 Staples graduate, had been a Staples Players member.
A news release says that the assemblage included Jessica Vosk (Elphaba in Wicked), Loren Allred (The Greatest Showman), Andrew Barth Feldman (Dear Evan Hansen), Mykal Kilgore (The Book of Mormon), Raissa Katona Bennett (Phantom of the Opera), Ben Fankhauser (Newsies), Jacob Heimer (Beautiful: The Carole King Musical), Stacie Morgain Lewis (Wicked, Sunday in the Park With George), Greg Naughton (rock band The Sweet Remains), and twelve current Staples Players.
All proceeds will support the Playhouse, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
