    Momentum. Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital Foundation Newsletter Volume 14 / Fall 2017 en Vereen is a legendary singer, dancer TONY-WINNER BEN VEREEN and actor known for his razzle-dazzle IS COMING TO DINNER FOR … B smile and bigger-than-life personality. But when he visits Grand Rapids in November, his appearance will be less about entertaining and more about spreading a ‘hope, freedom message of hope. Vereen is the special guest at the fourth and all that jazz’ annual Mary Free Bed Foundation Gala Nov. 2 at DeVos Place in Grand Rapids – and he can’t wait. “I’ll bring the joy,” he said. “We’ll have a wonderful time.” Guests can expect to hear stories from Vereen’s stellar 50-plus year career spanning stage and screen. A Tony Award-winner for his performance in “Pippin,” Vereen’s versatile range of performances includes “Wicked” and “Hair” on Broadway, the big screen’s “All That Jazz” and TV’s acclaimed miniseries “Roots,” among scores of others. The tireless 70-year-old song-and-dance man also presents masterclasses and lectures, and appears in concert all over the world. Vereen’s appearance at the foundation gala will feature some songs, a little dance and a great deal of inspiration. That’s because, a few years ago, he didn’t know if he would ever sing or dance again. In 1992, Vereen was walking along the Pacific Coast Highway near his home in Malibu, Calif., when he was struck by a car. He sustained multiple critical injuries and was hospitalized for several weeks before transferring to the Kessler Institute, a rehabilitation hospital in West Orange, N.J., near where he had a second home.
