Live From Lincoln Center—Stars in Concert, which launched last season with solo evenings with Leslie Odom Jr., Andrew Rannells, Sutton Foster, and Stephanie J. Block, will continue in December with Tony winners Cynthia Erivo and Annaleigh Ashford, as well as Tony nominee Megan Hilty.
The series will run over three consecutive evenings in The Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center: December 18 with Ashford, December 19 with Hilty, and December 20 with Erivo. Each artist will perform solo shows at 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM.
The concerts will be taped by Live From Lincoln Center to air on PBS nationwide in three separate hour-long episodes in 2019.
“We are thrilled to have such an amazing group of artists join us for the second year of Stars in Concert,” said Andrew C. Wilk, executive producer of Live From Lincoln Center, in a statement. “Last year, the series received such a warm welcome by fans and artists alike, with more than eight million at-home viewers, in addition to the live audience in the intimate Appel Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. I can’t wait to see Ms. Ashford, Ms. Hilty, and Ms. Erivo shine on the Lincoln Center stage this season."
