The Westfield Symphony Orchestra presents Steppin’ Out, a revue of American musical theater classics. Featuring soprano Sandra Joseph (seen by millions starring as Christine in NYC's Phantom) Ron Bohmer (currently starring in The Fantasticks on Broadway) and other renowned guest vocalists direct from the Broadway stage, this is New Year's Eve at its finest. Patrons are advised to purchase tickets in advance as this concert has been a sell-out for the past five years.  

The concert will take place at 7 p.m. in the Westfield High School auditorium, 550 Dorian Road in Westfield, and will finish at approximately 9 p.m. Tickets in advance are $40 for general admission and $70 for preferred seating ($45 and $75 at the door, if available.)
