ABOUT THE CONCERT

JULY 27 - AUGUST 7 (2 WEEKS ONLY!)
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN: 
The Music of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway

A New Concert
Featuring Christina Acosta Robinson and Ken Robinson

Back Together Again is a theatrical concert featuring the music of Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway. Friends since their college days, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway soared to the top of the Billboard charts as one of the most cherished and mellifluous duos in music history, recording some of the most adored duets of all time like, "Where Is The Love" and "The Closer I Get To You." Now, Broadway performers, and husband-and-wife, Christina Acosta Robinson and Ken Robinson bring the love together again for a concert of the pair’s iconic hits.

The joy and heart in the music itself can heal and inspire, while also celebrating the history and impact of these important artists.
— Dina Janis, Artistic Director

Christina Acosta Robinson (The Donna Summer Musical) and Ken Robinson (Memphis, Baby It’s You!) fell in love as students at the Yale School of Drama where they performed together at the Yale Cabaret, and have both gone on to appear on Broadway, Off Broadway, and acclaimed regional theaters across the country.
