Broadway luminary to perform live outdoor concert

FLORHAM PARK, NJ — On Friday, Sept. 25, Tony nominee and award-winning Broadway veteran Kate Baldwin will perform a one-night-only benefit concert for The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey at its new Backyard Stage in Florham Park. The event is titled “A Kind of September: An Evening with Kate Baldwin” and proceeds from the ticket sales will support the theater’s artistic and education programming.

Baldwin, who performed at STNJ a number of years ago in Shakespeare’s “Henry V,” and who has since performed in its annual Gala Cabaret, will be accompanied by long-time friend and collaborator Georgia Stitt. Baldwin will perform signature songs from her rich repertoire that has evolved over the length of her acclaimed career. Hailed as “the redheaded firecracker” by Stephen Holden of The New York Times, the performance will include gorgeous music and expert storytelling from songwriters like Stephen Sondheim, John Kander and Fred Ebb, Jerry Herman, and Stitt. 

For the concert, STNJ will expand the seating capacity, add some new lighting and sound features, and provide a limited amount of VIP cabaret-table seating, replete with champagne and tidbits to snack on during the concert. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. and will last a little over an hour. A rain date is set for the following evening. For more information, contact STNJ’s box office at 973-408-5600.
