Celebrating our 5th Anniversary Season, each In the Spotlight cabaret will feature an all-star cast and will be presented at 7:30 PM on the second Tuesday during each musical’s run (April 15th, April 29th, and May 13th).

Take One: Smile Concert Presentation
Tuesday, April 15 at 7:30 PM

Before Smile debuted on Broadway with a sparkling score by Marvin Hamlisch and Howard Ashman, an entirely different (and equally brilliant) score was created by Marvin Hamlisch and Carolyn Leigh (Wildcat, Little Me). It was put on the shelf after Leigh’s death. Now, for the first time in public, the Hamlisch/Leigh’s score will be heard in all its glory!

The cast will feature Corinna Sowers Adler (Ragtime), Steven Brinberg (Funny Girl), Daisy Carnelia (The Bad Years), Quinn Corcoran (Legally Blonde), Bruce Landry (Harmony), Lena Marano (The Goodbye Girl), Michael McAssey (Late Nite Comic), Kylie McNeill (Belle), Ashley Morton (Clue), Skye Papa (2025 YoungArts Winner), Jenna Lea Rosen (Mack and Mabel), Adam B. Shapiro (Fiddler on the Roof), Stuart Zagnit (The Wild Party), and more to be announced soon.

Take Five: Gala Reunion Concert and Reception
Tuesday, April 29th at 7:30 PM

This year marks the fifth anniversary of The J2 Spotlight Musical Theater Company and to celebrate this milestone, we will be presenting a one-night only gala celebration that looks back on the incredible musicals we have presented in our five-year history. Many of our original cast alumni will be joined other luminaries who will be our guides as we walk down our wonderful memory lane! Followed by a wine and cheese reception right on the stage.

Cast to be announced!

Take One: World Premiere of Cat and Mouse. Precursor to Drat! The Cat!
Tuesday, May 13th at 7:30 PM

Before Drat! The Cat! debuted on Broadway (with Milton Schafer's expert melodies), it began life under the title Cat And Mouse, with a score written entirely by Ira Levin himself – both words and music. Cat And Mouse's songs were later reworked and/or replaced with alternate numbers, all featuring new music by Schafer. J2 Spotlight is proud to present the world premiere of Levin's original, self-written Cat And Mouse score.
