Tony Award Winner Aaron Tveit Performs at the 2024 Globe Gala
The Old Globe will hold its annual gala on Saturday, September 21, 2024, under the stars on the Globe’s Copley Plaza and on the Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage in the Old Globe Theatre, part of the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. The theme for the 2024 Globe Gala is Black & White Masquerade, a spectacular and magical event that promises to be an epic night to remember. Copley Plaza will transform into an elegant and decadent nightspot with vibrant entertainment, delicious food and drink, and dancing ’til midnight. The 2024 Globe Gala will benefit The Old Globe’s nationally recognized arts engagement and artistic programs.
2024 Globe Gala will feature entertainment by Aaron Tveit, who received a Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Christian in the world premiere production of “Moulin Rouge! The Musical.” This past spring, Tveit played the title role in Broadway’s revival of “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” which was directed by Thomas Kail and also starred Sutton Foster. He was seen in Apple TV+’s new series “Schmigadoon,” also starring Cecily Strong, Keegan-Michael Key, Alan Cumming, and Kristin Chenoweth.
Most recently, Tveit was seen in Hallmark’s One Royal Holiday opposite fellow Broadway star Laura Osnes. He will next be seen in Apple TV+’s upcoming, as of yet untitled musical comedy series, produced by Lorne Michaels.
This black-tie event begins at 5:30 p.m. with signature cocktails by Snake Oil Cocktail Company and hors d’oeuvres on Copley Plaza. At 6:30 p.m., guests will indulge in a three-course, alfresco dinner on the plaza catered by Urban Kitchen Group with live entertainment. Guests will then join the Globe’s Erna Finci Viterbi Artistic Director Barry Edelstein in the Old Globe Theatre at 8:30 p.m. for a special presentation and an appeal to support the Globe’s artistic and arts engagement programs, before the star-studded performance by Tony Award winner Aaron Tveit. And as the evening’s final act, starting at 10 p.m., guests will dance the night away on the plaza to music to live musical entertainment.
The 2024 Globe Gala will support a vibrant, nationally renowned theatre dedicated to serving the public good through thrilling productions of great classics, provocative new works, and exciting musicals.
