Get ready for a thrilling night of unexpected performances! MCC Theater's annual concert fundraiser is back, and the 2026 edition promises to be a star-studded event with a unique twist.
But wait, there's a catch! The theater company has just announced the first names of Broadway stars who will be 'miscast' in this special concert. Yes, you heard that right! These talented performers will step into roles they would typically never play, and we can't wait to see the magic unfold.
The initial lineup includes Emmy winner Tramell Tillman, returning to the stage after his acclaimed TV role in 'Severance'. Tony Award winners Darren Criss, Jane Krakowski, Ruthie Ann Miles, and Brian Stokes Mitchell will also grace the stage, showcasing their versatility. And that's not all—co-stars from the musical 'Chess', Nicholas Christopher and Lea Michele, will join the fun, along with 'Ragtime's Caissie Levy, and more to be announced.
This unique concept of 'miscasting' adds a layer of excitement and challenges our expectations. And the best part? The event will be streamed worldwide for free, ensuring everyone can witness this extraordinary celebration of talent.
Here's where it gets even more exciting: The fundraiser will honor Tony-winning producers Roy and Jill Furman, as well as MCC Youth Company alum Jose Useche, recognizing their invaluable contributions to the theater world.
Tickets are already on pre-sale for MCC Patrons, with a Subscriber pre-sale coming soon. Don't miss out on this extraordinary event that promises to challenge the boundaries of traditional casting and celebrate the power of artistic expression. And remember, the controversy of 'miscasting' is all part of the fun!
