With the sun setting in the west and the traffic crammed on Woodall Rodgers headed toward the sunset, the Dallas Summer Musical friends and funders were in the cool confines of Museum Tower high rise to hear about the “talent trifecta” that will be on stage at the Music Hall at Fair Park on Saturday, November 3.
2018 DSM Gala Co-Chairs John Clutts and Cara Owens with DSM President Ken Novice revealed that unlike other venues that have a big-star entertainer, they’re opting for different approach. They’re gathering a team of well-known talents.
Serving as emcee for the evening will be ever-entertaining, award-winning Jane Lynch as emcee and former “Glee” cast mate Matthew Morrison along with show-stopping Broadway baby Shoshana Bean as the featured entertainment.
Ah, but Ken had a card still up his sleeve in revealing that a fourth person would be on stage the night of the fundraiser. Only problem? Their identity would not be revealed until they took the boards that night.
Ken did provide a hint that the mysterious unknown would be part of the upcoming Tony’s this Sunday.
Yipes! Evidently Ken’s “hint” didn’t make it to the scribes putting together the announcement release that was handed out. It read,
“Surprise special guests, to be announced at a later date, will join the star-studded lineup for a spectacular evening of Broadway.”
Oh, well, that’s show biz.
