An evening of musical entertainment benefiting Niswonger Children's Hospital.

Starring performers from Tony Award winning Broadway musicals, accompanied by the Charles Goodwin Orchestra:

Peter Lockyer made his Broadway debut at the age of 19 in the Dutch production of "Cyrano: the Musical," and has since gone on to play leading roles in some of Broadway's most popular shows. Peter had the great fortune to star in two of Broadway's biggest hit shows: he starred as Chris in "Miss Saigon" - both on Broadway and in the first National Tour; and he was Marius in the 10th Anniversary production of "Les Miserables" on Broadway, later chosen by Sir Cameron Mackintosh to repeat his performance in the "Les Miserables" Chinese premier in Shanghai starring Colm Wilkinson. Also on Broadway, Peter played the role of Rodolfo in Baz Luhrmann's critically acclaimed production of "La Boheme." Last year, Peter was featured in Lincoln Center Theatre's revival of "South Pacific," which aired on PBS nationally. He was also a longtime cast member of Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera." In the summer of 2007, Peter had the great honor of being one of four Broadway guest stars for Barbra Streisand in her historical, first European concert tour. In 2008, Peter was nominated for a Connecticut Critics Circle Award for his performance as Tom in "The Glass Menagerie" at the Ivoryton Playhouse. As an avid sports fan, he has enjoyed singing both the American and Canadian national anthems at Major League Baseball games and NFL football games across the U.S. He graduated magna cum laude from New York University, receiving a bachelor's degree in music education and educational theatre. Peter continues to perform with symphonies across our country and lives in New York City with his wife Melanie and the best little dog in the world, "Munches."

Denise DiRenzo performed on Broadway in "Cats," "A Chorus Line," the original company of "42nd Street" and "Sophisticated Ladies," with Gregory Hines. Tours and regional roles include: Audrey in "Little Shop of Horrors," Sarah in "Guys and Dolls," Peter in "Peter Pan," Tina in "Falsettos," Peggy Sawyer in "42nd Street" (opposite Peter Marshall) and Yum Yum in "Hot Mikado." Denise also directed and choreographed numerous industrials, musicals and revues that toured the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan. Her CD, titled "Sweet Refrain" (a mix of pop/jazz standards and original material), debuted in 2000 to rave reviews.

David Elder is thrilled to be back in East Tennessee on behalf of Niswonger Children's Hospital. He recently completed the national tour of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," in which he played Phil Davis, made famous by Danny Kaye. His many Broadway credits, for which he is incredibly grateful, include: Bobby Pepper in "Curtains" with David Hyde Pierce, Billy Lawlor in "42nd Street" (nominated for Outer Critics and the Astaire Award), Bill Calhoun in "Kiss Me Kate," Fleet (The Lookout) in "Titanic," Sir Harry in "Once Upon a Mattress" with Sarah Jessica Parker, Joe Hardy in "Damn Yankees" with Jerry Lewis, Salt in "Beauty and the Beast," and "Guys and Dolls" with Nathan Lane. David has performed with the wonderful Kristin Chenoweth in concerts at The Met and Carnegie Hall in New York City, Walt Disney Concert Hall and The Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Tanglewood in Massachusetts, and the Fox Theater in St. Louis. David appeared in the films "Jeffrey," "Cradle will Rock" and "Across the Universe," as well as the soap opera "Guiding Light." Some favorites he has done regionally include: "Singin' in the Rain" (CT), "Windy City" (PA) and "Crazy for You" (MO). He has appeared on the "David Letterman Show," "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and numerous Tony Award shows. He sings on the original cast albums of "Guys and Dolls," "Beauty and the Beast," "Once Upon a Mattress," "Titanic" and "42nd Street." He is from Houston, where he studied voice performance at the University of Houston.

Cary Miller is so excited to be performing once again for Niswonger Children's Hospital! In addition to being a performer, Cary is a child life specialist. She is from Kansas City, and graduated from the University of Missouri. She has performed on Broadway in "Saturday Night Fever" and the national tours of "Little Women" and "Seussical."
