The Town Hall Spring Shout: A Benefit Concert Honoring Lin-Manuel Miranda—Less Than One Week Away

NEW YORK - May 14, 2025 - PRLog -- On Monday, May 19, The Town Hall Spring Shout benefit concert will bring together an extraordinary lineup of performers, collaborators, and surprise guests for an electrifying celebration honoring Lin-Manuel Miranda, recipient of the 2025 Town Hall Vanguard Award.

This one-night-only event is a dynamic tribute to Lin-Manuel Miranda's creative mind—bringing together powerhouse performers, never-before-told stories, and once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. Creative Team Deanna Weiner (Director) and Kurt Crowley (Music Supervisor/Arranger) have created a concert experience for the ages, bringing together the creative reunions you've dreamed of—and surprise performances that will leave you breathless.

In fact, this celebration will unfold as a surprise to Lin-Manuel himself. He'll be in the audience with little knowledge of who's taking the stage or what's coming next, making every moment a heartfelt revelation—for him, and for the audience.

Newly announced performers and presenters include: "Weird Al" Yankovic, Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter, Rita Moreno, Robin Arzón, Javier Muñoz, Arielle Jacobs, Ivan Llanes, Julie Larson and Thomas Kail.

They join a growing list of award-winning talent spanning Lin-Manuel's legendary body of work, including original cast members from Hamilton, In the Heights, Freestyle Love Supreme, Warriors and many more. For a full list of performers, visit The Town Hall website.

"This show will take the audience on a journey through Lin-Manuel Miranda's creative universe—from the records he grew up listening to at home, to the CDs that shaped him in the '90s, to the sounds and stories that inspire him today," said Deanna Weiner, Director of the Spring Shout show. "We're not just celebrating his work—we're tracing the music and memories that helped make it. Every beat of the night is rooted in his legacy, and we can't wait to honor him in the most unforgettable way."

The celebration will also include a special tribute to Tom Wirtshafter, Board President Emeritus, who will receive the Town Hall Friend of the Arts Award in honor of his enduring impact on the institution and the performing arts community at large.

All proceeds from the evening will benefit The Town Hall and its mission to present world-class programming that champions artistic innovation, civic dialogue, and cultural legacy in the heart of New York City.
