Ben Vereen

Tony Award winner Ben Vereen has thrilled audiences on the Great White Way for four decades, from his Tony Award-winning work in Pippin through such shows as Wicked, Fosse, Chicago and I’m Not Rappaport. Right now, he’s in the midst of national tour of a one-man show, An Evening with Ben Vereen, which plays New York City’s Town Hall on Friday, February 18 — and which celebrates the February 15 release of his new CD, Stepping Out With Ben Vereen., which was recorded live in Hartford last summer. TheaterMania spoke with Vereen about his Town Hall debut and the many other projects that keep him busy.
