About

"A Salute to the 1940s Broadway Musical" will celebrate perhaps the most prolific and historically significant decade for musical theater in American history, in commemoration of the new Kennedy Center-wide festival A New America: The 1940s and the Arts presented by The Catherine B. Reynolds Foundation Series for Artistic Excellence.

Featuring Principal Pops Conductor Marvin Hamlisch with the National Symphony Orchestra Pops, this year's Gala will honor the golden age of American musical theater in a magnificent tribute. Join Kennedy Center Gala Co-Chairs Julie Andrews, James V. Kimsey, and Joseph E. Robert Jr. as they welcome to the stage Broadway stars Barbara Cook, Irish tenor John McDermott, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Elaine Stritch, Richard Stoltzman, and Frederica Von Stade, among others.

In addition to an outstanding performance, guests can enjoy an entire weekend of events, featuring a private event on Saturday evening. Sunday's festivities begin with a reception followed by an elegant gala dinner and performance in the Concert Hall. Immediately following the performance, the enchantment continues with "'Til Midnight" cocktails and dancing party featuring the swinging rhythm of Big Ray and the Kool Kats.

To make reservations, call (202) 416-8338 or fax (202) 416-8960.
