Playbill.com has learned that Betty Buckley, who won a Tony Award for her performance as Grizabella in Lloyd Webber's Cats, will join Sarah Brightman for a rendition of the Cats anthem "Memory." Brightman created the role of Christine Daae in another Lloyd Webber musical, The Phantom of the Opera, and was also married to the composer for several years. Elena Roger, the Argentine actress who is currently wowing London audiences in the acclaimed West End revival of Evita, will make her first U.S. stage appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors, performing a song from the Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice musical that charts the rise and fall of Eva Peron. And, the New York Post reports that Christine Ebersole, who opened to raves in the new Broadway musical Grey Gardens, will perform "As If We Never Said Goodbye," the second-act showstopper from Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard.

In addition to Andrew Lloyd Webber, the 29th Annual Kennedy Center Honors will also pay tribute to conductor Zubin Mehta, country singer-songwriter Dolly Parton, singer-songwriter Smokey Robinson and film director Steven Spielberg. The evening — which will be filmed for TV broadcast — will air on CBS-TV later this month.

Andrew Lloyd Webber is the award-winning composer of Cats, Evita, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Jesus Christ Superstar, By Jeeves, The Woman in White, Whistle Down the Wind, The Beautiful Game and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He is currently a co-producer of the London revival of The Sound of Music; casting for the musical's lead role was the subject of the hit U.K. reality series "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"
