WESTPORT–Isaac Mizrahi, the fashion designer, actor, singer and Project Runway: All Stars judge, will combine comedy, commentary and music in a performance at the Westport Country Playhouse at 8 p.m. March 7.

In the show, “Isaac Mizrahi: Live in Concert,” the actor, host, writer, designer, singer and producer will be accompanied by his jazz band. The music will include “an array of classic and soon-to-be classic songs from Stephen Sondheim to Blondie, from Comden and Green to Madonna,” the Playhouse said in a release.

He also hosted the Emmy-winning “Isaac Mizrahi Show” for seven years and served as a judge on all seven seasons of “Project Runway: All Stars.”

He continues to appear widely across television and film and is featured in a cameo in “Marty Supreme,” a Best Picture nominee in the upcoming Oscars. Serving as costume designer for Broadway productions of “Threepenny Opera, “Barefoot in the Park” and “The Women,” Mizrahi made his on-stage Broadway debut playing Amos Hart in the musical “Chicago” in 2022.
