Linda Eder Kicks Off Rrazz's Marine Memorial Concert Series with 'All of Me,' 12/11 & 12/12

Singer and actor Linda Eder will present an evening of signature songs and holiday favorites in the first of a series of Rrazz-produced concerts at the Marines Memorial Theatre, in a show entitled "All of Me." The Performances will take place December 11 and December 12 at 8pm. 

Linda Eder became a favorite leading lady of Broadway and concerts after gaining fame in her starring role in the musical Jekyll & Hyde, for which she won a Drama Desk Award. 

Throughout her two decades as a recording star, Linda Eder has garnered acclaim crooning theatrical evergreens. "For most of my career, I was known for big Broadway tunes and big-band kind of stuff," the artist says. "But my tastes have always been varied." Eder revealed an affinity for country-pop and blues-suffused rock in one recent CD and in her latest CD, titled Soundtrack, she adds new dimensions to an eclectic mix of themes from the silver screen.

Performances of "All of Me" are Dec 11 and 12 at 8 PM. Tickets are $47.50- $63.50. VIP tickets are $77.50 and include a "meet the artist" event. Tickets can be purchased at www.marinesmemorialtheatre.com or directly at 415 771 6900.

Eder grew up in Brainerd, Minnesota. At 16, she won a local beauty pageant and sang an original song. She then made her professional singing debut at a Holiday Inn in her hometown. After high school graduation, Linda headed for Minneapolis and spent most of her 20's perfecting her vocals and stage presence working in clubs. The tough 6 shows a week schedule was a valuable training ground and in large part reason for her success today. "Back then no one knew me when I walked on the stage and I hoped they remembered me when I walked off." Her fan base grew and by age 25 she headlined her own show at Harrah's Casino in Atlantic City. Her first big break came in 1987 with an audition for Star Search. With her only goal to win at least one show, Linda proved unbeatable for an unprecedented 12- week run. Her success on Star Search expanded her fan base nationally and led to a leading role as Lucy Harris in the 1990 Broadway- bound musical Jekyll & Hyde, a role she played for over 900 performances all across the US before finally arriving in New York. She starred on Broadway for 16 months, winning a Drama Desk Award and building her audience.
