Broadway's Loni Ackerman Set for Bickford Theatre Fundraiser
Loni Ackerman's magnetism and dynamic vocal prowess as a Broadway musical
theater star has made her a longtime favorite of theatergoers. In this charming and beguiling musical evening, Loni recalls personal stories growing up with family friends Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon, revisits songs she sang on-Broadway and Off-Broadway, and performs contemporary and original compositions.
Loni Ackerman has captivated New York audiences in such coveted roles as Eva in "Evita" and "Grizabella" in Cats. Other Broadway credits include leading roles in "The Magic Show," "So Long, 174th Street," "No, No, Nanette," and "George M!" She was in the original cast of "Starting Here, Starting Now" and appeared Off-Broadway in "Diamonds," "The Petrified Prince" (both under the direction of Hal Prince), "Brownstone" and "Dames At Sea." She is married to Tony Award winning Sound Designer Steve Kennedy and has two sons, Jack and George.
Proceeds from the benefit provide support for future programming at the Morris Museum's Bickford Theatre. One of New Jersey's premier professional theatres, the Bickford produces and presents year-round entertainment including a Main Stage Series, Children's Theatre, a Jazz Series, Comedy, Classical Music and many other special concerts and performances.
