And a Happy Birthday shout-out to Susan Boyle, who turns 55 today!
Scottish singer Susan Boyle rose to fame after singing a show-stopping and surprising rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from LES MISERABLES on BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT in 2009. Her debut album, which was released that same year, became the UK's best-selling debut record of all time. Her subsequent albums include THE GIFT, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, STANDING OVATION: THE GREATEST SONGS FROM THE STAGE, HOME FOR CHRISTMAS and HOPE. The Grammy-nominated singer went on her first solo concert tour across Scotland in 2013. In February, Boyle announced that her 7th album will be released later this year.
See you bright and early on Monday, BroadwayWorld!
