Streep and LuPone will be joined by Bernadette Peters, Mandy Patinkin, Christine Baranski, Donna Murphy, Kristin Chenoweth, Sutton Foster, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Kelli O’Hara, Aaron Tveit, among others, and Raul Esparza, who has appeared in several Sondheim productions, will host.
“The world is in a hard place,” Esparza said in a statement, obtained by Deadline, “and we are all searching for something great. Well, Stephen Sondheim is greatness personified.”
The virtual concert begins at 8:00 pm EST and will be available for free at Broadway.com and the Broadway.com YouTube channel.
