Fans can also catch the Broadway-bound stars in concert over the next several months, with several engagements planned for the New York area.

Fontana will slip into the starring role of the new Broadway musical adaptation of Tootsie, the 1982 film about a struggling actor whose life changes when he takes on a female persona—Dorothy Micheals—to land a role on a major soap opera. Fontana takes on the role originated on screen by Dustin Hoffman that gets a whole new sound from Tony Award-winning The Band’s Visit composer-lyricist David Yazbeck.

Fans can catch Fontana in concert at Birdland on December 3 and 17 at 7 PM.

O’Hara, who recently concluded a celebrated run in the London transfer of The King and I, will co-star opposite Will Chase in a revival of Cole Porter’s Kiss Me, Kate, beginning February 14 at 54 Below.

Her busy concert schedule includes An Evening With Kelli O’Hara and Matthew Morrison (November 27 with the San Diego Symphony); in concert at Kean University (December 15); as well as two concerts with Seth Rudetsky (December 2 at the Smith Center in Las Vegas and at The Town Hall January 14, 2019).
