Broadway's Supper Club presented Joanna Strand and Jacqui Tate last night and BroadwayWorld was there. Ann Hampton Callaway was a surprise guest and gave the British duo her Diva Blessing.

Infinitely versatile and with a host of West End and touring credits between them, including The Phantom of the Opera, Avenue Q, Jekyll and Hyde, Evita and My Fair Lady as well as the Broadway transfers of Master Class and South Pacific, they captivate audiences with their unique harmonies and original arrangements. Embracing everything from the ridiculous to the sublime, their shows are guaranteed to entertain and delight.
