This year’s cabaret will once again be brought to life through the vision and enthusiasm of its organizers: Cheryl Fitzgerald, consummate stage performer, and Marion Young, Executive Director of Princeton University’s Lewis Center for the Arts. A highlight of the program will be a special performance by Marian Torres, current star in the Broadway company of Alicia Keys’ Hell’s Kitchen. Torres — who has also graced the Broadway stage as Elphaba in Wicked — will perform a number from Wicked, offering audiences a rare, intimate musical moment.
