Stars on Stage From Westport Country Playhouse, TV Broadcast

Gavin Creel (Hello, Dolly!, The Book of Mormon), Shoshana Bean (Wicked, Waitress), and Brandon Victor Dixon (Hamilton, The Color Purple)’s September concerts filmed at Connecticut’s Westport Country Playhouse will debut on television this January 2022 on PBS, PBS.org and the PBS Video App.

The concerts will run for three consecutive Fridays at 9:00pm ET. The airtimes are as follows: Gavin Creel (January 7). Shoshana Bean (January 14) and Brandon Victor Dixon (January 21).

Gavin Creel blazed onto Broadway in Thoroughly Modern Millie and instantly became one of the theater's favorite leading men, with starring roles in Hello, Dolly!, She Loves Me, Hair and more. Now, the Tony and Olivier Award-winner brings humor, heart and irresistible charm to an intimate evening of story and song. Kicking off with a celebratory "Lulu's Back in Town," Creel continues to shine with performances of "Something's Coming" from West Side Story, Sondheim's "Another Hundred People," and a stirring rendition of "I Have Confidence," connecting the songs to his life and personal journey. Other selections include "Unfinished World," one of 16 songs written by Creel for Walk on Through, a project commissioned by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and their first live performance since March 2020. Directed by Andrew C. Wilk, with long-time Creel collaborator Mary-Mitchell Campbell as Music Director.
