Even more Broadway favorites have joined The New York Pops' 43rd Birthday Gala, set for April 27 in Carnegie Hall's Stern Auditorium/Perelman Stage.

Entitled Changed for Good: A Celebration of Stephen Schwartz, the evening will feature the works of the award-winning composer of Wicked, Godspell, and more. Show time is 7 PM. The New York Pops is led by music director and conductor Steven Reineke.

Newly announced for the evening are Tony nominee Jasmine Amy Rogers (BOOP! The Musical, The Wild Party), Emmy nominee Tituss Burgess (Oh, Mary!; Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt; The Little Mermaid), and Kyle Dean Massey (Pippin, Wicked).

These artists join the previously reported Shoshana Bean, Aisha Jackson, Brittney Johnson, Tony winner Rachel Bay Jones, Judy Kuhn, Telly Leung, Tony winner Lindsay Mendez, Mary Kate Morrissey, Tony winner Ben Platt, Sherie Rene Scott, Tony winner Paulo Szot, and Mary Testa.

Schwartz wrote the music and lyrics for the current Broadway hit Wicked and has also contributed music and/or lyrics to Godspell, Pippin, The Magic Show, The Baker’s Wife, Working (which he also adapted and directed), Rags, Children of Eden, and The Queen of Versailles. For film, in addition to the two-part adaptation of Wicked, he wrote the songs for The Prince of Egypt and collaborated with Alan Menken on the songs for Disney’s Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Enchanted.

Proceeds support The New York Pops orchestra and the organization’s PopsEd music education programs. The concert will be followed by a black-tie optional dinner and dance at the Mandarin Oriental New York.
