The Story
Acclaimed Broadway stars convened to honor Stephen Schwartz in the first-ever New York gala tribute to the famed composer of such timeless hits as Godspell, Pippin, The Magic Show, Fosse, and most recently Wicked! Winner of four Grammys, three Oscars and countless theatre awards, Schwartz was in attendance to witness the performances of his greatest songs from a career of extraordinary achievements.
“A surprise, a star in the making, a phenom was Lisa Howard. It is truly difficult to do musical theatre and operatic justice to "Children of the Wind" from Rags (I mean - come on - who can compare to Migenes?), but she knocked it out of the park!!”
