Danieley Replaces Szot, Joins O'Hara For Ravinia Festival's Rodgers & Hammerstein Concert 9/6

Broadway actor and singer Jason Danieley will join vocalist Kelli O'Hara along with the Ravinia Festival Orchestra conducted by Ted Sperling in a performance of timeless songs by the legendary American song-writing team of Rodgers & Hammerstein at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 6. Paulo Szot was originally scheduled to appear, but has cancelled for personal reasons.

Danieley made his Broadway debut in the title role of Candide, for which he received a Theatre World award and Drama Desk nomination. He has gone on to star in Broadway productions of The Full Monty and, most recently, Curtains. Danieley has appeared with the Boston, St. Louis, Grant Park, Utah, Minnesota and Buffalo symphonies as well as with the L.A. and New York philharmonics and starred in concert versions of Bernstein's Candide, Gershwin's Of Thee I Sing and Let ‘Em Eat Cake, Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel and South Pacific.
