We are delighted to announce that our amazing and deserving honorees will be Marleen & Kenny Alhadeff and New World Stages. Expect Broadway-caliber talent at Guastavino’s, a beautiful, uniquely New York venue, with plenty of food, drink and mingle time. (Dress code: festive!)

Our Gala honorees have each made significant impacts to the musical theater landscape. Marleen & Kenny Alhadeff are dedicated and eloquent ambassadors for the musical theatre field and wonderfully generous supporters of new musical development. NAMT’s Festival of New Musicals has proudly called New World Stages home for the last 15 years and they also are the home of Tony Award-winning, Guinness World Record-setting and Pulitzer Prize-earning shows.
