Audra McDonald returns to JOE'S PUB


Audra McDonald returns to JOE'S PUB (425 Lafayette Street, NYC - Tele-Charge: 212-239-6200 - Box Office: 212-539-8778 - http://www.joespub.com/) on May 21st & 22nd and May 24th through 26th, in an eagerly anticipated encore engagement. All shows are at 7:30 pm - tickets are $35.

Audra was the very first performer to grace the stage of JOE'S PUB nearly four years ago. Since that time, Broadway's youngest legend (three Tony's before age 30 for performances in CAROUSEL, RAGTIME, MASTER CLASS), has been electrifying audiences on stage and in concert with "a soaring soprano [that] can deliver operatic crescendos, segue into intimate blues and invoke the peculiarly American influences of jazz and show tunes Æ occasionally all in the same song." Paula Span --The Washington Post.

Ms. McDonald has broken the barriers of age and casting, moves with ease within every musical genre and adds formidable acting talent to that astonishing voice. It is no wonder that she has become a muse for a cadre of young and innovative composers as they traverse the borders of opera, musical theatre, pop music and art songs. It is those same composers and many more that she will celebrate in these performances. Checking with composers from her first album and introducing the next generation of songwriters, Audra will draw from a list of musical talent and innovation including Larry O'Keefe, Jeff Blumenkrantz, Adam Guettel, Jason Robert Brown, Michael John LaChiusa and others. With musical direction from Ted Sperling.
