We're off to see the Wizard on Friday, May 15 at 7 pm when the 2025-26 Arts at First Presbyterian concert series concludes with An Evening of Broadway with Tim Shew. The church is located at 300 School Street in Clarks Summit.
Tim Shew is pictured above as the Wizard when he performed in the Wicked national tour. Tim is probably best known for portraying Jean Valjean in Les Miserables across multiple productions, including Broadway, where he became the youngest actor to play the role in 1988. He has portrayed the iconic character more than 2,200 times in various stagings, including the original Broadway production, the 1991 national tour, the 1997 Australian 10th anniversary production, and a 1999 Broadway return. Tim will sing highlights from his extensive resume on the world's stage. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to hear this outstanding performer.
He will be accompanied by Dr Rick Hoffenberg, an outstanding pianist, who is associate professor of music and co-director of the Insalaco School of Visual & Performing Arts at Marywood University.
The concert is open to the public free of charge, with a free-will offering taken to help defray the cost of the event. Meet the artist at a reception held following the concert.
