The acclaimed Monday Nights, New Voices series will continue Feb. 18 at the Duplex Cabaret Theatre in Manhattan.

Several Broadway favorites — including Michael Arden, Todd Buonopane, Barrett Foa, Celia Keenan-Bolger and composer Stephen Schwartz — will be on hand to help celebrate their favorite "New Voices." Among those scheduled to perform are Whitney Bashor, Eric Imhoff, Abby Lee and Eric Krop. Show time is 7 PM.

The evening will feature the work of Jonathan Larson Award-winning composer Neil Bartram. Bartram will accompany the performers on selections from his songbook; Barbara Anselmi will be the musical director.

The New Voices series was founded by composer Scott Alan to "showcase some of today's brightest new talent in New York." Alan's debut recording, "Dreaming Wide Awake" — which features performances by Liz Callaway, Stephanie J. Block, Eden Espinosa, Cheyenne Jackson and Jonathan Groff, among others — is available by visiting www.scottalan.net.

The Duplex Cabaret Theatre is located in Manhattan at 61 Christopher Street. There is a $12 music charge and a two-drink minimum; for reservations call (212) 255-5438.
