An accomplished comedienne, an emotionally powerful actress, and a gifted vocalist worthy of large marquees, Foster allowed all three to be fully experienced live in her exquisite showcase An Evening with Sutton Foster, a song collection of her Broadway hits, personal favorites, and selections from her debut solo album Wish. As part of the Orange County Performing Arts Center's Cabaret Series--playing at the Samueli Theater until Sunday, January 9--Foster essentially offers up a master class in entertaining by providing her audience with a healthy dose of musical evidence as to why she has spent most of the past decade as Broadway's go-to darling. Whether delivering witty or touching lyrics, slipping out charmingly hilarious quips, or belting the bejeesus out of one of her signature tunes, Foster does not disappoint in her 1 hour-and-20-minute set.

This week, we are taking a listen to two wonderful West End-related winners featuring the stars of two witch-related West End musicals - THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK and WICKED - courtesy of SimG Records: Caroline Sheen's RAISE THE CURTAIN and Annalene Beechey's CLOSE YOUR EYES. These two delicious divas-in-training have proven that they have the talent, skill and technique to entertain us for many years to come onstage, but just how well do their first solo album efforts showcase their considerable abilities? Singing everything from Sondheim, William Finn and Stephen Schwartz to Adam Guettel, Jason Robert Brown, David Yazbeck and Stiles & Drewe, as well as some Joni Mitchell and Tracy Chapman thrown in for good measure, there's surely enough to satisfy all with much more than mere morsels to enjoy. All of this appreciable merriment (and even a small sampling of 'Away In A Manger' courtesy of Mitchell) and formidable entertainment comes with mostly unadorned accompaniment, as well, giving these ladies a true chance to shine their clearest and brightest in a solo spotlight all their own!

If you had to choose just one song to represent an entire Broadway year, what would you pick?
