Coming this Spring, Live From Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series will present Tony Award winners Patina Miller and James Naughton.
Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best
Actress in a Musical,
Patina Miller is both a fresh new face and a performer at the very top of her game. Her first concert special features music ranging from classic R&B to Broadway's best.
A Tony winner for performances in "City of Angels" and "Chicago,"
James Naughton is an entertainer of breathtaking range. He stretches his sardonic "angel's wings" once again, taking on the repertoire of
Randy Newman, whose songs have delighted and outraged audiences for decades.
