As previously reported, the fifth annual Broadway Unplugged concert — featuring Broadway stars performing without microphones — will be presented Nov. 17 at Town Hall.

Created and hosted by Scott Siegel, the evening will feature tunes from the American musical theatre. Those performers who had previously been announced to lend their unamplified voices to the 8 PM event include Ashley Brown, Jeff McCarthy, Marc Kudisch, William Michals and Bill Daugherty.

They will be joined by Marilyn Maye, Chuck Cooper, Matt Cavenaugh, Julia Murney, Christiane Noll, Cheryl Freeman, Lorinda Lisitza, Ron Bohmer and Erin Denman; the latter will "lead a small troupe of Broadway gypsys who will also sing and dance unplugged," according to a press release.
