At December 13's Broadway Dreams Gala, Shoshana Bean paid tribute to the evening's honoree, Tony-winning director-choreographer Jerry Mitchell, with a performance of Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman's "Fly, Fly Away," backed by Shaiman on the keys. Watch the performance in the video below.

The event, held at Plaza New York, honored Mitchell. Tony winner Alex Newell and Spencer Liff co-directed the event.

“Jerry Mitchell has shaped the modern Broadway landscape with his boundless creativity, vision, and generosity,” said Annette Tanner, founder and president of Broadway Dreams, in an earlier statement. “As the creative force behind some of the most beloved Broadway musicals of our time, Jerry’s influence extends far beyond the stage. He has been a valued member of the Broadway Dreams family for many years, inspiring and mentoring our Dreamers with the same passion and artistry that define his extraordinary career. We are deeply honored to celebrate Jerry’s remarkable legacy and enduring impact on our community at this year’s gala.”

Director-choreographer Mitchell received Tony Awards for Best Choreography for Kinky Boots and La Cage aux Folles. He was also Tony-nominated for Best Choreography for BOOP! The Musical, The Full Monty, Hairspray, Never Gonna Dance, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and Legally Blonde and for Best Direction of a Musical for Kinky Boots. He is also the recipient of the 2023 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award.

Founded in 2006, Broadway Dreams offers mentorship-driven performing arts training programs throughout the year.

The evening raised funds for Broadway Dreams’ global work in supporting performing arts education, career development, and mentorship.
