Lansbury (who won a Tony Award for her performance as Mrs. Lovett) and Hearn (who eventually succeeded Len Cariou in the title role of the vengeful barber) will reprise Sweeney's Act I finale, "A Little Priest," for the upcoming celebration, which will be held at 8:30 PM in the Kennedy Center's Concert Hall. The evening will also include three men who played Valjean in the Broadway company of Les Misérables: J.

The one-night-only event will also include performances by Judy Collins, Harolyn Blackwell, Sarah Chang and Savion Glover. Marvin Hamlisch will conduct the National Symphony Orchestra.
