Tony Award winner Beth Leavel (The Prom, The Drowsy Chaperone) is bringing her award-winning cabaret act to Blue Strawberry for two fabulous nights of fun! Join Beth for an evening of story and song as she takes you through her illustrious career as one of Broadway’s biggest, belting-est divas. Filled with laughs, surprises and some joyously chaotic misbehaving, this is one show you don’t want to miss!

– “A bravura triumph… Her new show… is brimming over with her trademark chutzpah. But it is also heartfelt, smart, honest, and surprisingly vulnerable… [she] was supported by one of Broadway’s finest musical directors, Phil Reno. His arrangements were wonderful and he was the perfect foil for Leavel's lightning-quick wit.” BROADWAYWORLD

She recently starred as Miranda Priestly in the Chicago premiere of the new musical adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, directed by Anna Shapiro and featuring music by Sir Elton John.
