The 8:30 PM concert is the final offering of the "The Actors Fund Broadway Series," which benefits the non-profit organization.
Lewis will perform tunes from his debut CD, "This Is the Life," which features a mixture of contemporary songs and Broadway classics, including David Friedman's "We Live on Borrowed Time," Alan Menken's "Go the Distance," Jerry Herman's "Before the Parade Passes By" and My Fair Lady's "Wouldn't It Be Loverly." The evening will also feature several songs not on Lewis' debut disc.
Seth Rudetsky is musical director.
In a statement Lewis said, "I love The Actors Fund. Their services are so important to all of us in this business; I'll do anything I can to help out."
