The 7 PM evening will also feature the Duke Ellington Jazz Choir. In a statement Paul Tetreault, director of Ford's Theatre, said, "Ever since the successful run of Shenandoah in 2006, Scott and I have been discussing new projects and ways to work together. I am thrilled to create this very special evening to share with Washington audiences."

Proceeds will benefit the renovation and expansion campaign for Ford's Theatre.
