The Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park is packed with Broadway fans tonight. Many of the musicals that are showcased tonight are adaptations of other works. The cast of A Charlie Brown Christmas performs a medley of several songs from the movie making it feel like Christmas in August. The leading actress from Beautiful – The Carole King Musical sings (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman and Beautiful. It makes the audience realize how theatrical and perfect for a musical her songs are. The lead performers from Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage perform “I’ve Had The Time Of My Life” and the crowd soaks it in. The cast from The Lion King do a fantastic performance of “Can You Feel The Love Tonight”. The evening’s surprise finale is the cast of Book of Mormon performing You And Me (But Mostly Me)! It’s a splendid closing number to a magnificent night full of Broadway talent. Get tickets to these shows and more here!
