A select group of talented teenage performers from Valley Youth Theatre will participate in the 400-voice chorus for the one-night-only event performance of “Anastasia: The Musical” at New York City's Lincoln Center.

The concert is scheduled for Feb. 17 at David Geffen Hall.

The ensemble, led by Mark Fearey, the Phoenix theater’s music director, will arrive in New York on Valentine’s Day. Rehearsals will begin that evening and continue throughout the weekend, culminating in a dress rehearsal at Lincoln Center.

Along with their rehearsal schedule the group will have the opportunity to explore the Big Apple and experience the magic of Broadway.

The event features a 400-voice chorus, the New York City Chamber Orchestra, and a Broadway cast.

"This is an extraordinary opportunity for our young performers to showcase their talents on a national stage," Bobb Cooper, VYT’s Billie Jo & Judd Herberger executive producer, shared in a press release. "Being part of such a renowned production aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire young people through the performing arts."

The nonprofit theater, located at 525 N. 1st St., in Phoenix, opened in 1989 and counts Emma Stone and Jordin Sparks among its alumni.

Performers making the trip to New York City are London Cairney, Jadyn Carter, Chase Carter, Mahagani Carter, Ruby Crogan, Gwendolyn Delarosa, Dash Deusterman, Christopher Devous, Gabrielle Etheridge, Olivia Fearey, Chloe Finch, Abby Fleming, Eli Franklin, Bryn Gibson, Kathlyn Grimwood, Andrew Hammons, Morgan James, Michael Jaramillo, Ellianna Keller, Aether Lottie, Brooklyn Martin, Sarissa Monroe, Annie Rowe, Jaden Sparkman, Kyler Tilley, and Tayson Toledo.
