A bevy of big-voiced Broadway divas are set to take the stage at Carnegie Hall on April 28 to honor Grammy and Tony winners Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman as part of the New York Pops 31st Birthday Gala. Fans can expect to hear Patti LuPone, Megan Hilty, Kerry Butler, Jenifer Lewis, Capathia Jenkins, Jane Krakowski, Marissa Jaret Winokur and many more belting out famed Shaiman and Wittman tunes; and we are positively giddy at the thought.
