KATE BALDWIN & FRIENDS Set for The Sheen Center This Sunday

KATE BALDWIN & FRIENDS, a concert series featuring Kate Baldwin, is set for this Sunday, February 28 at 7:30pm at The Sheen Center.

The first part of the two part series, WELCOME TO MY PARTY: THE SONGS OF MICHAEL JOHN LACHIUSA, will feature Alexander Gemignani (Sweeney Todd, Les Mis), Katie Thompson (Giant, Pump Boys & Dinettes), and Allison Blackwell (A Night with Janis Joplin, Porgy and Bess). This special even will celebrate the music of Michael John LaChiusa.

Ms. Baldwin is best known for her break-out leading Broadway role in Finnian's Rainbow, which earned her Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations (New York Times). Additionally, Baldwin has appeared in the Broadway productions of Big Fish, The Full Monty, Thoroughly Modern Millie, and Wonderful Town; the acclaimed off-Broadway productions of Songbird, Jon and Jen (Drama Desk nom.) and Giant (Drama Desk nom.); as well as in concerts with the New York Pops, Encores! and the American Songbook series at Lincoln Center.

Emmy Award winner and five-time Tony nominee LaChiusa is known for his hauntingly beautiful musicals like The Wild Party, Hello Again, and Queen of the Mist. Baldwin starred in his Off-Broadway musical Giant in 2012, which received a Drama Desk nomination.

Bringing LaChiusa's music to life, the inaugural KATE BALDWIN & FRIENDS will feature musical direction by Mary-Mitchell Campbell (Finding Neverland, Big Fish & the upcoming Tuck Everlasting,), along with the vocal talents of Alexander Gemignani, Katie Thompson, and Allison Blackwell (A Night with Janis Joplin, Porgy and Bess). Mary-Mitchell Campbell will arrange and lead a 5-piece band.
