At our Spring Gala on April 7, 2008, over 500 Board members, donors, patrons and guests of Roundabout celebrated and raised money with a unique evening called Feeling Groovy: Pop Songs of the 60s.

Roundabout Theatre Company opened its doors in 1965, a time that also marked the dawning of a brand-new age. While Roundabout redefined classic plays on stage, pop music and fashion were being redefined as a seismic shift changed the American cultural landscape forever. To celebrate this extraordinary decade, Tony Award® winner Kathleen Marshall created a one-night-only musical celebration featuring Broadway's hottest stars such as Kelli O'Hara, Alan Cumming, Rosie Perez and Brian D'Arcy James singing the unforgettable music of the 1960s.

With inspired leadership by Gala Chairs Lois Robbins and Andrew Zaro, the event raised a record $1.5 million for Roundabout's Musical Theatre Fund. These important funds will help ensure that Roundabout's rich musical productions such as Nine, Assassins, The Pajama Game, 110 in the Shade, last season's Sunday in the Park with George and the upcoming Pal Joey can be enjoyed in vivid new interpretations for a new generation to enjoy.
