Benanti


This Broadway star, who has enchanted audiences from the stage and the screen, presents an extraordinary evening filled with the emotional ballads and sensational showstoppers that skyrocketed her to fame at the ripe, young age of 19.

Benanti has won critical acclaim and accolades for her diverse portrayals of a nun-turned-governess in The Sound of Music and a wallflower-turned-stripper in Gypsy (for which she won a Tony Award in 2008), as well as appearances in The Wedding Singer, Swing!, Nine, Into the Woods, and Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. She recently had a recurring role on Law & Order and recently starred as a group grief counselor opposite Matthew Perry on NBC's hit sitcom, Go On. Don't miss this dazzling soprano whom The New York Times has praised as "one of the most beautiful voices in musical theater."
