Director Judith Ivey, composer-lyricist David Kirshenbaum and librettist (and playwright of the original source material) Jack Heifner were on hand for the festivities at New York City's HB Burger.
Vanities, the musical, "spans the turbulent '60s through the late '80s and explores how important friends are as one faces life's defining moments: growing up, getting older and getting over it," according to show notes.
The new jukebox musical featuring the songs of Huey Lewis and the News follows a Chicagoan whose failed band leads to him returning to corporate America.
