Michael Cerveris, Norm Lewis, Constantine Maroulis and More to Appear in Monday's "Rockers on Broadway" Benefit

EDGE READ TIME: 2 MIN.

The Path Fund, Inc. is proud to announce "Rockers on Broadway 20," the latest installment of Broadway's favorite benefit Rock and Roll concert series featuring some of the most celebrated names on the Great White Way, will take place on Monday November 11 at 7:30PM at Le Poisson Rouge (158 Bleecker Street).

The star-studded evening will feature the talents of Tony Award-winner Michael Cerveris ("Sweeney Todd", "The Who's Tommy") and Tony nominees Norm Lewis ("Porgy and Bess") and Constantine Maroulis ("Rock of Ages"). They will be joined on stage by Cheryl Freeman ("The Who's Tommy"), Eden Espinosa ("Wicked"), Titus Burgess ("The Little Mermaid"), Donnie Kehr ("Jersey Boys"), Tony Vincent ("American Idiot"), Michael Lanning ("Bonnie & Clyde") and a host of other Broadway performers from the casts of "Matilda", "Motown", "Kinky Boots" and more. A special performance by The Monkees' Micky Dolenz and Broadway visionary Des McAnuff promise to be a high point of the night.

The evening, which is sponsored by Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio and the Frye Company will honor Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Pete Townshend (The Who) and Tony Award winning director Des McAnuff ("Jersey Boys", "The Who's Tommy"); two visionaries who broke new artistic ground while bridging the gap between Rock and Roll and Broadway.

Now in its 20th year, "Rockers on Broadway" was founded by Donnie Kehr while appearing in the Broadway run of "The Who's Tommy." Kehr was inspired by Pete Townshend, who wanted the play's performers to experience the feeling of singing with a rock band in a concert style venue, and to transfer the rawness of that edge to the stage.

Proceeds from the event will benefit The ASCAP Foundation's Children will Listen Program, The Broadway Dreams Foundation and Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Tickets for "Rockers on Broadway" range from $30 to $250 and are on sale now. For more information and to purchase tickets online, visit www.rockersonbroadway.com or call (le) poisson rouge at (212) 505-FISH (3474).
