Audra McDonald
Technical perfection, pure tone, crystal clear diction – 4-time Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald is one of the most electrifying performers on Broadway today. Frequently compared to legendary performers such as Barbara Streisand and Judy Garland, McDonald was just nominated for yet another Tony for her luminous portrayal of “Lizzie’ in 110 in the Shade. She also plays Dr. Naomi Bennett in "Private Practice" on TV. Equally talented as a singer and a dramatic actress, she is “one of those rare cabaret concert performers who sends writers running for their thesaurus in search of new ways to say ‘astonishing’” (EDGE Boston).
CABARET: Dinner, Dessert & Cash Bar $3–11. Doors open at 7 pm.

They're melodies you hear again and again; songs that have inspired a thousand albums --but do you know their stories?
