The concert's musical director, for the sixth consecutive year, will be Ross Patterson. Taking the helm as director will be Scott Coulter.

Scott Siegel, the creator/writer/host of Broadway Unplugged said, in a statement, "Despite the treacherous economy, we are going ahead with a concert that has, over its short lifetime, become a musical theatre tradition every Fall. We intend to put on a great show, with big stars, wonderful show tunes and absolutely no electronic amplification. This is the concert where today's Broadway stars show they've got the same kind of chops as the old timers did. I'm announcing only a modest number of stars now, because I want to build toward November 16th with increasing anticipation for what I expect will be yet another exciting night full of musical theatre fireworks. So, look for more names to come before the big night."
