Redwood Library Presents “Best of Broadway”

 

KT Sullivan singing Broadway tunes

The annual Gala at the Redwood Library is refreshing, in that it doesn’t feature a live and silent auction, nor a band, nor dancing after dinner.  It is sui generis, always a fabulous party, with cocktails in the distinguished building, an excellent dinner, and a musical performance under a huge tent featuring Broadway melodies and that certain kind of music – George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Rogers and Hart, et alia.

This year’s Gala honored Ruth Buchanan, with Janis Buchanan and Diane Wilsey as honorary co-chairs. The performance featured Broadway singing star Leroy Reams ( called “Broadway’s Darling” by columnist Liz Smith),  and KT Sullivan, and was produced by Johnny Stokes. At piano was Dennis Buck.
