Kelli Rabke has made a thorough study on big voice women who are not small.. they are concentrated awesome. Now she brings her thesis to The Green Room 42, along with her own big voice.

The 1 hour 40 minute production showcases Sondheim music from 'Sunday in the Park with George,' 'Merrily We Roll Along,' 'Follies,' 'Into the Woods,' 'A Little Night Music,' 'Company,' 'Sweeney Todd,' 'Assassins,' 'Anyone Can Whistle,' 'The Frogs,' 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,' 'Dick Tracy,' and 'Do I Hear a Waltz?'

Kelli Rabke's new show is informed by a very personal topic: the size of her body and the size of her voice... and all the other women who are 'in the club' that she likes to call The Tiny Giants. See her live, if you're in Jersey, or see her virtually, if you're not.
