Returning for its second season, American Songbook at NJPAC—a words-and-music series co-presented with NJTV, New Jersey’s public television network—is an exciting offshoot of NJPAC’s success as a broadcast venue. Broadway and cabaret artists Marilyn Maye, Tommy Tune, Marc Shaiman & Scott Wittman (right), John Pizzarelli, Nellie McKay and Laura Osnes & Santino Fontana perform before a live audience in the intimate Victoria Theater, then join theater insider Ted Chapin for a Q&A. The sessions are taped for future broadcast on WNET, NJTV and WLIW.
Saturday’s schedule includes Maye, Tune and Shaiman & Wittman. On Sunday, American Songbook at NJPAC features Pizzarelli, McKay and Osnes & Fontana.
Each musical guest will perform for about 40 minutes, then have a short interview with Chapin, the President of Rodgers & Hammerstein: An Imagem Company. Chapin serves on several boards, including the American Theater Wing, where he was Chairman for four years, Goodspeed Musicals, and New York City Center. He was a Tony Awards nominator for two seasons and is a member of the Tony Administration Committee.
