Barbara Cook to Perform at PA's Longwood Gardens, 7/7

By:

Barbara Cook, Broadway legend, debuts in the Open Air Theatre at Longwood Gardens in Kennett, Pa., on July 7th at 7:30 p.m. Longwood Gardens, one of the largest and most acclaimed public gardens in the world, celebrates the arts with more than 40 performances this summer.

Whether on the stages of major international venues throughout the world or in the intimate setting of New York’s Café Carlyle or Feinstein’s at the Regency, Barbara Cook’s popularity continues to thrive - as evidenced by her 1997 birthday concert with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Albert Hall in London, a succession of 6 triumphant returns to Carnegie Hall where she made a legendary solo concert debut in 1975, and an ever-growing mantle of honors including the Tony, Grammy, Drama Desk and New York Drama Critics Circle Awards, her citation as a Living New York Landmark and her induction into the Theatre Hall of Fame.

A newly named 2011 Kennedy Center Honoree, Cook recently returned to the Broadway stage after a 23-year absence, and was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance, in the musical Sondheim on Sondheim, directed by James Lapine, for the Roundabout Theater Company.
