Cast members of the Broadway company of HAIR will join WING onstage for her Birdland Concerts. Andy Sandberg (Tony Award winning producer of Hair) and Jim Caruso's Cast Party will present WING at BIRDLAND, a limited, two-night engagement of this international recording and internet sensation at New York's premier concert venue. The HAIR Tribe is scheduled to take to the stage alongside WING to perform a rendition of the musical's most famous songs.

The Hong-Kong native and 'Asian Sensation' will make her triumphant return to New York as part of the Broadway at Birdland series on October 26th and 27th at 7:00PM.

Wing made her New York debut last year at Birdland in a one-night-only concert, where she received standing ovations from a sold-out audience that included the likes of Michael Feinstein, as well as Blake Lively and Penn Badgley of "Gossip Girl" fame. This fall will marK Wing's third visit to the United States, and who knows what celebrities will be in attendance this time?

She will be performing some of her most popular favorites, including the first live performances of songs from her newly released Michael Jackson/Celine Dion album entitled "Beat It." She will also be debuting some songs from current Broadway favorites like "Hair," "9 to 5," and "Phantom of the Opera."

Wing achieved cult status through her unique vocal stylings, mastering hit songs by Michael Jackson, Andrew Lloyd Webber, ABBA, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Mariah Carey, AC/DC, and so many more!

With millions of fans worldwide, she has taken the globe by storm. Wing has been compared to Florence Foster Jenkins, who raised alternative singing into an art form. Before "American Idol" even hit the air, Wing was already a worldwide phenomenon, outshining the success of "Idol" star William Hung and putting Clay Aiken to shame with her eighteen hit CDs.

Recently, she was immortalized with her very own episode of "South Park," the animated series.

Join the festivities at Birdland in what is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as this goddess among men, who's making the trip from her home in New Zealand especially for the
occasion, takes the Big Apple by storm and gives 'alternative music' a whole new meaning.
