There is far less than five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes until this year’s Bravo! Gala. But now we know who the special guest stars will be. On Wednesday, AT&T Performing Arts Center revealed that Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal, who originated the roles of Mark and Roger in the iconic — and queer forward — musical Rent, will headline this year’s event.
The annual fundraiser takes place Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 p.m. in the Winspear Opera House. The actors will perform music from Rent along with other selections from their careers and maybe even a dash of ’80s hits. Their new show celebrating 30 years of friendship and music through songs and stories.
Proceeds from the Bravo! Gala directly support the Center’s arts education and community engagement programs, while also sustaining the campus spaces.
This year’s event will honor Barbara Thomas Lemmon, longtime arts patron, philanthropist and founding member of the Center, while continuing the gala’s tradition of highlighting the work of the Center’s five resident companies: Dallas Theater Center, The Dallas Opera, Texas Ballet Theater, Dallas Black Dance Theatre and Anita N. Martinez Ballet Folklorico.
Tickets to the gala are available here.
