HAMILTON's Leslie Odom Jr. Heads to Joe's Pub Next Month
By: BWW News Desk Apr. 29, 2015
Don't miss your chance to see "Law & Order: SVU," "SMASH," "Person of Interest," and "House of Lies" star Leslie Odom Jr. live in concert before Hamilton begins performances on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theater this summer.
After wrapping up a record-breaking run of Hamilton at The Public Theater, the Lucille Lortel and Drama Desk Award nominee will perform one night only at Joe's Pub on May 24th at 7:30pm. Tickets available at www.joespub.com.
In celebration of his recently released solo album, Leslie Odom Jr. will share his ultra smooth vocal sound in a sophisticated blend of traditional jazz and theatre classics.
In his debut album release, Leslie Odom Jr. shares his honest unadulterated vocal style with a collection of songs that includes both traditional jazz standards and musical theater favorites. Listening to Leslie's ultra smooth tenor, it is easy to understand why he is often likened to a modern day Nat King Cole. In this album, Leslie works with a jazz rhythm section to showcase his vocals over arrangements that grow to include full string sections, and are, at times, pared down to simply an acoustic guitar or a cappella. Overall, this stark and simple interpretation offers a fresh perspective that attempts to reintroduce some ageless classics to a modern audience.
