Directed by Hunter Bird with musical direction by Benjamin Rauhala, the 8 PM concert, The Music of Zack Zadek, promises "a mix of musical theatre, pop, dance, as well as selections from Zadek's full-length musicals 6 (New York Musical Theatre Festival 2012) and The Crazy Ones (NYMF Reading Series 2013)."

Joining Mindelle, Jones and Pritchard are Marcus Paul James (In the Heights, Rent), Alex Brightman (Big Fish, Wicked), Ariana DeBose (Motown, Bring It On), Andrew Kober (Hair), Hannah Elless (Godspell), Drew Gaspirini ("Smash"), Emma Hunton (Spring Awakening, Next to Normal), Molly Hager (Fat Camp), Sarah Cetrulo (The Black Suits), Haley Bond, Charles Franklin and John Krause.

Zadek is backed by a full band featuring music director Rauhala (synth/organ), Matt Hinkley (lead guitar), Shannon Ford (drums), Andy Kuusisto (bass), Alexandra Jones (cello), Sam Quiggins (cello) and Justin Rothberg (rhythm guitar). Taylor Noble and Sedona Schat provide additional vocals.

"These are some of favorite performers on the planet, and I’m beyond excited to make music with them in such a crazy venue," said composer Zadek in a statement. "This concert is really about the love of music, whether it's straight up pop, piano-rock, dance – and seeing what happens when you fuse it all with world of musical theatre and character stories. We're making it a big show, and I can't wait."

Zadek's work has been heard at Joe's Pub, (le) Poisson Rouge, 54 Below, Galapagos Art Space and as part of In The Valley: The Songs of Zack Zadek at the Laurie Beechman Theatre. Valerie Novakoff produces, and projection design is by Andrew Lazarow (I Am Harvey Milk).
