The encore performance reunites Michelle with director Lennie Watts, musical director Bill Zeffiro, and an acclaimed band for a musical evening blending song and storytelling in celebration of Hollywood's most iconic singing actresses.
Directed by multi-MAC Award winner Lennie Watts and musically directed by multi-MAC Award winner Bill Zeffiro, the program featured Zeffiro on piano with John Miller (bass), Chip Fabrizi (drums), Mitch Endick (winds: saxophone, flute, clarinet), and Ted Stafford (guitar, mandolin, saxophone). Songbirds of the Silver Screen paired beloved repertoire with revealing, often surprising anecdotes drawn from biographies and interviews, offering audiences a deeper look at the women behind the voices.
Spanning more than 90 years of musical history, the show honored the extraordinarily gifted and hardworking, classically trained women whose rise to stardom helped define popular culture.
