The 7:30 PM concert celebrates the "exciting new musicals bound for Broadway," according to press notes. Directed by Robert W. Schneider, the evening features musical direction by Zachary Spencer and choreography by Heather Castillo.

Songwriters featured in Broadway Bound include Marcy Goldrich and Zina Heisler (Dear Edwina); Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk (The Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown); Georgia Stitt (Big Red Sun); and Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days). Audiences can expect tunes from Grumpy Old Men, The Hudsucker Proxy, Dani Girl and more.
