Since her sold-out debut at Blue Strawberry last year, Eleri Ward's star has only continued to rise. Her name and her 'hauntingly beautiful' indie-folk Sondheim covers are now known far and wide within the Broadway community and beyond.

When Eleri Ward walked on stage of the City Winery Loft in a tie-dyed shirt and just her guitar, I thought if her goal was to recreate the intimate feel of an after-dinner jam on a sofa in her apartment, she succeeded. Ward held the audience in the palm of the hands for the next ninety minutes with her soothing tones and unexpected takes on popular Stephen Sondheim songs we've heard a million times.

MCC Theater has announced initial performers for Miscast23, which will take place on Monday April 3 at the Hammerstein Ballroom, including Josh Groban, Annaleigh Ashford, LaChanze, André De Shields and more. See how to purchase tickets!
