Carnegie Hall's 2024-25 Season to Include Bernadette Peters, a Tina Turner Celebration with Adrienne Warren, and Jinkx Monsoon

From the Carnegie Hall website:

Nothing lights up a stage like the presence of a true original. This extremely popular concert series returns with Bernadette Peters’s first Carnegie Hall performance in nearly 30 years; the Carnegie Hall debut of Jinkx Monsoon, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race and box office record-breaker in Broadway’s Chicago; a 30th anniversary celebration of the irresistible “little orchestra” Pink Martini; and a concert of beloved jazz ballads and more reimagined by visionary vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant with the innovative orchestra The Knights.

The New York Pops returns to Carnegie Hall with Steven Reineke and spectacular special guests. Celebrate Tina Turner with Adrienne Warren, who won a Tony Award for her portrayal of the rock icon in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical. Experience an all-new program starring Max von Essen, including Great American Songbook favorites and more. Get “Merry and Bright” at the annual holiday concert—this season featuring the great Jessica Vosk. Enjoy a fresh spin on hits by Cole Porter with Tony DeSare, Bria Skonberg, and John Manzari. Grab your popcorn for “100 Years of Epic Film Scores,” a chronological tribute to cinematic scores from King Kong and Psycho to Gladiator and The Avengers.

It ALMOST feels nostalgic! I wish I could see it."

 

It's going to be a new show -- but with many of her career highlights and songs from her longtime repertoire.

 

I find the season line-up uninspired.  I'm tired of spending good money and leaving Carnegie Hall disappointed.  I may get a single ticket to see Jennifer Simard and Christopher Sieber in Pete n' Keely.

And I'm still sad that Lincoln Center's American Songbook shifted gears and is not really doing any of the Great American Songbook anymore. I miss going to the Appel Room.
