Jason Robert Brown has recruited some starry friends for his previously announced Carnegie Hall concert, set for October 25. Heather Headley and Ben Platt will join the singer-songwriter for the one-night-only performance.

"I have been a fan of Heather Headley since the miraculous night I saw Aida in its Chicago tryout, and I can’t wait to collaborate with her for the first time, and to hear that remarkable voice bring my music to life," says Brown in a statement. "I’ve known Ben Platt since he was a teenager, and getting to watch his magnificent performance as Leo Frank in Parade on Broadway represented, to me, the perfect combination of actor and role. He is a musician of limitless gifts, and it is such a joy to make music with him."

The concert will mark the 30th year of Brown's career in New York theatre, which has resulted in such titles as Songs For a New World, Parade, The Last Five Years, 13, The Bridges of Madison County, Mr. Saturday Night, and more. Brown, Headley, and Platt will be backed by the 22-piece Orchestra of St. Luke's, conducted by Brown and Georgia Stitt.

Brown won the 1999 Tony for Best Original Musical Score for Parade and 2014 Tony Awards for Best Original Score and Best Orchestrations for The Bridges of Madison County. The 2023 revival of Parade also earned the Tony for Best Revival of a Musical.

This year has seen the premieres of two new Brown musicals: The Connector, created with Jonathan Marc Sherman and Daisy Prince, which completed a run at Off-Broadway's MCC Theater in April; and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, written with Taylor Mac and directed by Rob Ashford, currently running at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre. His Off-Broadway hit, The Last Five Years, is heading to Broadway later this season.

Creative Partners Productions and Live Nation are producing the upcoming concert.
