This Saturday: Broadway's Best at the Jersey Shore

 

 


 

AXELROD BROADWAY SUMMER CONCERTS

Tickets Start at $38

 


 

Sirius Celeb Seth Rudetsky & Tony Winner Beth Leavel

 

Sirius Celeb Seth Rudetsky & Tony Winner Beth Leavel

 




On Saturday, June 3, Sirius XM radio host Seth Rudetsky is bringing his Broadway concert series to the Axelrod PAC. Seth’s special guest is Tony Award winner Beth Leavel (The Drowsy Chaperone, Mamma Mia!, The Prom). This one-night-only special-event concert will be filled with funny, behind-the-scenes stories mixed with incredible performances of the songs Leavel has performed on Broadway and beyond. The set list will have Beth recreating performances from her unique Broadway career including "The Winner Takes It All" from Mamma Mia! and her hilarious AND show-stopping hit songs from 42nd Street, Young Frankenstein and her most famous leading ladies: the (slightly drunk) title role in The Drowsy Chaperone and the narcissistic bring-down-the-house Diva who (has the nerve to sing) “It’s Not About Me” from The Prom! Seth’s concerts are always one-of-a-kind because they're never fully planned in advance. Unrehearsed songs, audience questions and song suggestions often occur! Who knows what will happen at the Axelrod this time!

Tony Winner Lillias White—Star of Hadestown

 

Broadway star Lillias White

 




 Tony and Emmy Award winner Lillias White, currently receiving raves for her starring role in the Tony Award-winning musical Hadestown on Broadway, is internationally recognized for her work on stage and screen. Her performance in the Broadway musical The Life earned her a Tony Award. Described by The New York Times as a “one-of-a-kind performer who combines the sass of a classic blues mama with the skill of a Broadway star,” Lillias White is world-renowned for her “glorious” voice and “slightly superhuman” ability to communicate the heart of a song (The New York Times). Her performance in Cy Coleman’s Broadway musical, The Life, won her the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She was nominated for a second Tony Award for her brilliant work in Fela! Additional Broadway credits include Barnum, Dreamgirls, Cats, Carrie, Once on This Island, How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Chicago.
