Katharine McPhee News

For his new album, Grammy-winning songwriter and producer David Foster re-recorded some of his classic songs with guest artists a?" including his recently wedded wife, Katharine McPhee-Foster. She talks about meeting him on a?oeAmerican Idol,a?? and he calls her a?oean amazing singera??.

Here's my understatement of the year so far: Broadway star Megan Hilty is one of the most delightful creatures that has ever graced a stage. This was wonderfully confirmed all throughout the Tony Award nominee's Segerstrom Center for the Arts Cabaret series solo debut, which recently opened to an enthusiastic, candlelit crowd Thursday night and continues for two more performances through November 16, 2019 at the Samueli Theater in Costa Mesa. Beautiful, quirky, bawdy, self-deprecating, and undeniably talented, Ms. Hilty was thoroughly engaging and entertaining during her nearly 80-minute acoustic set backed by musical director and principal pianist Matt Cusson and her bassist/guitarist husband, fellow Broadway performer Brian Gallagher.

Katharine McPhee and Drew Gehling will host the show's hugely popular 'Cast Album Karaoke' program following the 7 PM performance on Monday, December 2nd at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre (256 West 47th Street). Interested audience members will be able to sign up before the performance for the chance to sing one minute of any song in the show accompanied by the onstage band led by musical director Nadia DiGiallonardo.

Delicious pies, love stories, and music written by Sara Bareilles are just a few things of many that make the musical: WAITRESS, a must-see this season. Playing at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre until November 17th, Broadway Across Canada's WAITRESS officially premiered in Vancouver, B.C. with a brand new National Tour cast on Tuesday. Led by the amazing Bailey McCall as the show's lead: Jenna Hunterson, this touring production did not fail to impress me with its emotion, music, and energy.

David Foster has released a new song called 'Something to Shout About' from the Betty Boop musical he is working on. The track is sung by Katharine McPhee.
