Martinis Above Fourth Table + Stage and Sher Krieger Events present Jazz Recording Artist Sacha Boutros in her newest show, 'Sacha Sings Streisand' in San Diego on Thursday, March 20.
The revue, created by Steve Gunderson and choreographer Javier Velasco, will feature some of Nilsson's best known songs, including 'One,' 'Everybody's Talkin',' and 'Me and My Arrow.'
Dominating the nominations in the musical category is the current Broadway sensation 'A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder,' which made its world premiere in February 2013 at San Diego's The Old Globe (a co-production with Hartford Stage). The musical racked up 11 nominations, including nods for New Musical, its versatile star Jefferson Mays (a UC San Diego alumnus) and its director Darko Tresnjak (former co-artistic director and Shakespeare Festival director at The Old Globe).
Booking a long running show in San Diego seems like an oxymoron. Granted, The Grinch comes but once a year, but when it comes, it is a much-needed Christmas bonus to local actors.
