McLean, Va.—Three-time, Tony Award-winning composer and living legend of musical theater, Jason Robert Brown, performs an intimate evening filled with musical brilliance at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, at The Alden in McLean. Tickets are $50, $45 for students and seniors and $35 for residents of Dranesville Small District 1A. The Alden is located at 1234 Ingleside Ave., inside the McLean Community Center.

“Jason Robert Brown and Friends” offers a close-up look at the career of the composer, director, orchestrator and lyricist. Hear anecdotes and personal insights from the man who wrote “Parade,” “The Bridges of Madison County,” “The Last Five Years,” “Honeymoon in Vegas,” “13” and other favorites. He will be joined by his longtime trio and special guests.

Brown is best known for his dazzling scores to several of the most renowned musicals of our time, including the generation-defining “The Last Five Years” (currently running on Broadway with Nick Jonas and Adrienne Warren); his debut song cycle “Songs for a New World”; and the seminal “Parade,” winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Best Score and the 2023 Tony for Best Revival of a Musical, currently on National Tour throughout the U.S.
