Tony Award royalty will turn out to celebrate 50 Years of Broadway musicals at the Kennedy Center
The Washington Post: While the barricades won’t rise again next month at the Kennedy Center, the voice of Frances Ruffelle — one of the original stars of “Les Miserables” — will. The Tony-winning British actress, who created the role of lovelorn gamine Éponine, will join a battery of acclaimed Broadway actors for a celebration of the musicals that have helped to make history at the arts center on the Potomac.

I hadn’t heard about this event until today: I’m sure this event at the Kennedy Center will be wonderful to see next month (though, naturally with the ever present hope that COVID won’t get in the way). It sounds like they are really digging into the history of the Center & Broadway, showcasing quite a few numbers and shows. Including work done by the late Stephen Sondheim, for whom they are planning a tribute for. I think it’s great to have this happening; the shutdown of the entertainment industry due to COVID in the last 2 years had a massive impact on everyone. To be able to see these events come together is a joyful thing to witness. I know we are starting to sound like a broken record a little bit (or maybe a lot), but to be able to even take baby steps towards a post-pandemic world is exciting.
