LaChanze to Tell Life's Journey in Concert the Highline Ballroom

The rhythm is real. The melody intrigues; the lyrics are timeless, and the music takes you on a journey. Tony, Emmy and SAG Award-winner LaChanze returns to the famed Highline Ballroom in a not-to-be-missed concert in a one woman musical journey about her life.

The one-night-only concert, set for Monday, January 15, 2018 at 8 p.m., coincides with the 2018 APAP conference - an annual rite which, every January, brings musicians from around the world to New York.

The Los Angeles Times proclaims that she "brings down the house," The Hollywood Reporter calls her work "powerful and confident" while the New York Times hailed her as "magnetic." LaChanze will use her one-of-a-kind musical talent and unrivaled mezzo soprano voice to perform original pieces, highlights from her career and her renditions of classics tunes.
