BETTY BUCKLEY IN CONCERT
Through her dazzling work in such musicals as Sunset Boulevard, Cats, 1776, Carrie, Song & Dance, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Pippin, Tony Award winner Betty Buckley is one of a small handful of performers synonymous with Broadway. Her voice has been stopping the hearts of concert and theatregoers for years. "Buckley has a real Broadway voice," New York Daily News critic Kissel elaborates, "which has in recent years, become oddly a rare commodity. A Broadway voice has a penetrating quality that belongs to the theatre and projects the energy of the city itself." Join us for her Town Hall concert debut.

I don't think they necessarily sing songs from the show that is listed, but Willy Falk sang "You Are So Beyond" at last year's concert. He was incredible!
