The fifth annual Broadway Unplugged concert — featuring a host of singing actors performing with no amplification whatsoever — will be presented Nov. 17 at Town Hall.

Created and hosted by Scott Siegel, the evening features tunes from the American musical theatre. Those performers who will lend their unamplified voices to the 8 PM event include Ashley Brown, Marc Kudisch, Aaron Lazar, Jeff McCarthy, Julia Murney, Matt Cavenaugh, Cheryl Freeman, Christiane Noll, William Michals, Lorinda Lisitza, Chuck Cooper, Erin Denman, Bill Daugherty and Ron Bohmer. (Due to a scheduling conflict, Marilyn Maye will not be part of the concert.)

In a statement producer-host Siegel said, "I'm thrilled with the cast that I've assembled; every one of them can sing like nobody's business. In addition, every year I always try to do something a little bit different. This year is no exception. It's gonna be fun!"

Tickets for Broadway Unplugged, priced $25-$75, are currently on sale by calling (212) 307-4100 or by visiting www.ticketmaster.com.

Town Hall is located in Manhattan at 123 West 43rd Street.
