“Voices for Volunteers” at the Playhouse

Cady Huffman, Adam Kaplan

Volunteers who serve the community will be feted by stars of the musical theater at the Westport Country Playhouse on January 24.

“Voices for Volunteers” features Tony Award winner Cady Huffman and fellow Broadway star Adam Kaplan, who headline the large cast of performers in the event, which will be emceed by comedian Chris O’Neil.

“I couldn’t be more excited to bring in a stellar cast of Broadway professionals who also call Fairfield County their home,” said Ben Frimmer, the show’s producer and director.

“For all that our area volunteers do, our multi-talented cast will celebrate them through music.” (Mr. Frimmer, himself a volunteer, is deputy chief of Weston EMS and a Westport EMS crew chief.)

Tickets are $50, all general admission, all first-come first-served. They can be purchased here. When ordering, you can also opt to underwrite tickets for volunteer attendees. Organizations can purchase 10 tickets for $400 as gifts to their volunteers.

Cady Huffman won a Tony for “The Producers” and a nomination for “The Will Rogers Follies.” Adam Kaplan was Chad in Hulu’s “Up Here” and appeared on Broadway in “A Bronx Tale,” “Newsies,” and other shows.

A host of other talents take the Playhouse stage, all with serious theater credentials, including Mia Gentile, Jacob Heimer, Remy Laifer, Natalie Steele, Jeff Gurner, Nili Bassman, composer David Friedman, Juliet Lambert Pratt, Ari Axelrod, Elana Arian, and cantors Julia Cadrain and Becky Mann of Westport’s Temple Israel and Micah Morgovsky of Stamford’s Temple Sinai.

Mat Eisenstein of Broadway’s “Some Like It Hot,” “Frozen,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and other hits is the musical director of the program.

The show runs about two hours, with an intermission.
