The two-act concert featured a set list culled from Foster's many Broadway shows, including Anything Goes (the title number and "I Get a Kick out of You"), Thoroughly Modern Millie (a surprise encore of "Gimme, Gimme"), and Violet (from which Henry performed "Let It Sing"). As a 40th birthday present for herself, Foster also sang her version of "Rose's Turn" from Gypsy. McGinnis did a solo on "Neverland" from Peter Pan.
