The Real Love features music by Emmy winner Bill Conti, two-time Oscar winner Al Kasha, Emmy nominee Doug Katsaros, Tony and Emmy winner Don Pippin and Oscar and two-time Grammy winner David Shire.

The new musical, according to press notes, is inspired by a true story about a "woman who is deeply in love with her equally tender husband, a doctor. But as their happy marriage blossoms, a calling propels her to make a heartrending decision - remain with her beloved or sacrifice everything in search of happiness for all humanity. In what seems a destined journey, she embarks on travels through India and the Himalayas, encountering adventure, danger, and surprises along the way. The unforgettable story is sure to bring tears, laughter, and poignant memories for audiences of all backgrounds."

The two-part evening will also include a concert by singer/songwriter Don McLean and his band.

The event will be taped for future broadcast.
