'Steppin' Out with Ben Vereen' is a one-man show with a unique blend of artistry and a tribute to the music of Broadway, along with musical selections made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. featuring hit songs like 'Defying Gravity,' 'My Way,' 'Mr. Bojangles' and 'Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries.' Each performance is filled with song and dance, stories of his life and Vereen's signature sense of humor.
Vereen has solidified his place among Broadway royalty with starring roles in such Broadway productions as 'Wicked,' 'Fosse,' 'Chicago,' 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' 'Hair,' 'Jelly's Last Jam,' 'Grind,' 'A Christmas Carol,' 'I'm Not Rappaport' and of course 'PIPPIN,' for which he won the Tony Award. He starred in the new play 'Fetch Clay, Make Man' at the McCarter Theatre, directed by Des McAnuff ('Jersey Boys') which will move to NY in 2013. On Jan. 30, 2012, Ben Vereen was inducted into the Theater Hall of Fame.
Last spring, he released his first CD, 'Steppin' Out Live With Ben Vereen.' Vereen performed for 100,000 people at the Washington Monument on July 4, 2012. Recently, the Museum of Dance honored Vereen with a lifetime achievement award.
