What was "Lost in Boston" will be found in concert in Los Angeles, but only on Oct. 16 and 17. The Los Angeles City College Theatre Alumni and Associates, along with Varese Sarabande Records, are sponsoring three concerts to benefit the L.A. City College Theatre Academy. Musical theatre talents such as Diana Canova, Jane Krakowski (Grand Hotel) and Shaun Cassidy are expected to attend and sing lost selections from such musicals as West Side Story, Grand Hotel and Pippin. Varese Sarabande is responsible for the popular "Lost in Boston" series of recordings, in which tunes dropped before their respective shows reached Broadway are once more given voice. The benefit, directed by David Galligan, is expected to feature Jamie Anderson, Carole Cook, Alvin Ing, Jolly Fisher, Bill Hutton, Lindsay Ridgeway, and other surprise guests.
