The event, which is timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the show's closing, will offer "a variety of styles of music as well as stories and memories shared by the cast," according to the producers.
Several of the dancers also appeared in the ensemble of the NBC-TV special "Peter Pan Live!"

Based on the film of the same title, Newsies opened March 29, 2012, and ran 1,004 performances. It has a book by Harvey Fierstein, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman.
Filmed in 2023, the one-night-only event featured Brian Stokes Mitchell, Audra McDonald, Peter Friedman, and more from the Ahrens and Flaherty musical's original cast.
Surrounded by period-accurate, 19th-century holiday decorations lit via candlelight, the 70-minute production is based on Dickens' own script of the classic.
