Jackie Evancho Returns To The Van Wezel

A worldwide sensation when she was only ten years old, Jackie Evancho has moved past the exuberant promise of a child prodigy vocalist into a new era of performance. She returns to the Van Wezel on Friday, April 3 at 8 p.m. on the heels of her latest album release, The Debut, featuring the multi-platinum recording artist as she pairs her extraordinary voice with one of the most exciting re-emerging genres in popular music today: Broadway's New American Songbook.

Since gaining global recognition with her stunning debut on NBC's America's Got Talent, Jackie Evancho has released a string of platinum and gold albums. Along the way, she has also made history as the youngest solo platinum artist, the youngest Top 5 debut artist ever in the U.K., the youngest person to give solo concert at Lincoln Center and the highest-ranking debut artist of 2010. All seven of Jackie's albums have hit No. 1 on the Billboard Classical chart. The magnitude of her success led Billboard twice (in 2010 and 2012) to include Jackie on its list of "music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21."

Featuring songs from breakthrough musicals including Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Waitress, Once, Spring Awakening and films such as the Greatest Showman, Evancho's latest album captivates the hearts of musical theatre fans and mainstream audiences alike.

Tickets are $39-$109. Purchase tickets at www.VanWezel.org, the Box Office or by calling (941) 263-6799. Groups of 10 or more should contact (941) 263-6726.

"I'm very proud to be recording and interpreting songs by these contemporary theater songwriters. Not only do I love the songs but I am able tell a story and interpret them from my perspective. It was an incredible experience getting to know these characters and songs and I can't wait to perform them live!" -Jackie Evancho
