Tony nominee Norm Lewis, known for his roles in The Phantom of the Opera, Porgy & Bess and TV’s Scandal, will be Tutera’s special guest. Lewis will open the evening, which begins at 8 PM, with a new song composed by David Friedman (“Help Is on the Way,” “We Can Be Kind,” “My Simple Christmas Wish”).
Tutera, star of WE tv’s CELEBrations, describes the event as “a festive hybrid of talk show and live theatre.” He will interview guests, oversee a makeover, conduct a question-and-answer session and inspire the audience with tales of his can-do attitude.
“Dream Bigger is a truly interactive and entertaining experience,” Tutera said. “I am thrilled Norm Lewis will open the show with a wonderful new Dream Bigger song composed by David Friedman.”
The evening will also feature the inspirational rap artist Sonnet Man, who sets Shakespeare’s sonnets to song with a hip hop twist. Dancers are Ally and L.J.
