On Sunday, Aug 23rd 2009, Upright Cabaret's incredibly popular 'Wicked Summer Nights' series at the Ford Amphitheatre drew to a close with a spectacular concert entitled 'Stephen Schwartz: Making Good' which set out to celebrate the works of the man who inspired the series, Mr. Stephen Schwartz.

This last in the series of Wicked Summer Nights concerts from Upright Cabaret @ the Ford Amphitheatre Sunday evening August 23 was undoubtedly the best. It boasted the introduction on the West Coast of Stephen Schwartz's new opera Seance on a Wet Afternoon, narrated by Schwartz and sung magnificently by Lauren Flanigan and company. Act II was a fitting celebration of Schwartz's past works with a lineup of very exciting, and mostly fresh, lesser known talents.

Prolific composer Stephen Schwartz has delighted us with such musical megahits as Godspell, Pippin, The Magic Show and...the most successful show in Broadway history Wicked, which is still playing in New York and on tour internationally and grossing millions of dollars on its souvenirs alone.

On Friday, July 24 Broadway and Wicked star Eden Espinosa made a triumphant return to Los Angeles with her pop/rock concert entitled 'ME' which was directed by Billy Porter with Music Direction by Christopher Lloyd Bratten. The nearly sold-out audience was treated to a dazzling array of song selections which included highlights like the Tina Turner hit 'River Deep, Mountain High,' Cyndi Lauper's 'I'm Gonna Be Strong,' Dolly Parton's 'Here You Come Again,'...

Eden Espinosa performed her solo show ME, which had already sold out 4 nights at Joe's Pub in New York this winter, at the Ford Amphitheatre on Friday, July 24 in the second concert of Upright Cabaret's Wicked Summer Nights! Espinosa creates a sensation wherever she sings and this evening was no exception. Her set began Act II, which included an appearance by Grammy-winning Paula Cole; cute, petite Audra Mae, grand-niece of Judy Garland, was the Act I opener. There was a definite rock, pop feel to the evening whose theme was Lost Love, Found Love, Found Me.

On Friday, July 24 at 8:30pm, Grammy Award-winner and Decca recording artist Paula Cole is set to join Eden Espinosa on stage as special guest for 'Eden Espinosa: Me' concert under the stars at the Ford Amphitheatre, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068.

There is an air of enchantment about Eden Espinosa! Perhaps that's because fairytales and bedtime stories seem to follow her wherever she goes. Audiences across the country have seen her flying on her broomstick above the Land of Oz, heard her singing an 'Unfinished Lullaby' beneath the Brooklyn Bridge...
