Olivier Winner Lesli Margherita to Perform at Feinstein's at the Nikko, 3/25-26
Olivier Award winner and Bay Area native, Lesli Margherita (Dames at Sea, Matilda The Musical), will bring her brand new solo show, BROAD, to Feinstein's at the Nikko for two performances only - Friday, March 25 (8 p.m.) and Saturday, March 26 (7 p.m.). In BROAD, Margherita will celebrate the controversial women of yesteryear: Women who knew how to serve it up and dish it out. Women who took no prisoners and gave no apologies. With heart, humor, and more than a dash of seduction, Margherita takes center stage delivering racy and rare gems from the 20s, 30s and 40s that landed many of the women who sang them in hot water...just the way they liked it! Conceived and written by Margherita, the show will be directed by Lauren Bass, with musical direction and arrangements by Brett Ryback and produced by Lauren Bass and Jordan Bass. Tickets for Lesli Margherita range in price from $40 - $60 and are on-sale now and available by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.
