I was vaguely aware of who she is before I saw 110 In The Shade (look ma! no acronyms or shortening!), but once I saw that I was hooked. She is definitely on my get everything I can list now!!

ADORE her!!!!

And her graciousness at the stage door only accentuates her beauty.

Experience live theater. Experience paintings. Experience books. Live, look and listen like artists! ~ imaginethis

She's also great on the fabulous CD, "Leonard Bernstein's New York."

(She's featured, along with Dawn Upshaw, Donna Murphy, the fabulous Judy Blazer -- who is also the standout on the album, and Mandy Patinkin.)

Itty Bitty Geisha? Toyland? Gypsy Pasadoble? Just a few popular favorites...

If you are going to get only one of her solos you must, must, must get Way Back To Paradise. It really tells you the type of artist Audra is and her support for interesting and innovative young composers. I would also recommend How Glory Goes, Sweeney Todd (NY Philharmonic), and Ragtime of course.

Have to agree with scooter. Her version of "A Little Bit in Love" is to die for.Beautiful beautiful version. I highly recommend the cd, even if only for her and Donna's contribution to "Ya Got Me". Awesome.

Happy...Everything! Kaye Thompson
