Avery Sommers Brings SHOWSTOPPERS to Delray Beach Playhouse
Performances run October 3 & 4.
Straight from her recent return to New York City, fans of South Florida's Cabaret Queen Avery Sommers can now catch her one-woman-concert SHOWSTOPPERS, which drew cheers from her sold-out, star-packed performance two weeks ago at 54 Below.
Avery Sommers is familiar to Broadway audiences from her performances in Ain't Misbehavin' and Platinum and from her national tour performances in Chicago and Best Little Whorehouse.
Showstoppers is a collection of songs from roles she has performed (“This Joint is Jumpin',” “Can't Help Loving That Man of Mine,” “I Know Where I've Been”) and roles she still wishes to play (“Before the Parade Passes By,” “If You Believe”) interspersed with her own showbiz anecdotes and television clips – with music direction by Phil Hinton.
Avery Sommers is an artist who makes every song uniquely her own and lifts the hearts and souls of her audience whether in an intimate supper club or on a Broadway stage.
A frequent headliner at The Colony Hotel's Royal Room, Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Palm Beach Institute for the Entertainment Arts, Arts Garage, and more, Sommers is the recipient of the distinguished 2024 Randolph A. Frank Award for the Performing Arts and is both a Carbonell Award winner and a seven-time nominee. In addition, she is the recipient of a Silver Palm Award for Outstanding Contributions to South Florida Theater, and the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 2010 Monaco International Film Festival. Currently, she serves on the boards of directors for both the Carbonell Awards and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre, and on the Honorary Board of Advisors for The Society for the Preservation of the Great American Songbook.
