Screen Shot 2014-08-29 at 4.41.28 PMWe’re so proud to present Canadian superstar Danielle Wade’s 1st solo show! Danielle burst on the scene in 2012 with her weekly television appearances—and win—of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Over the Rainbow: Search for the Next Dorothy.” Blending a stunning ability to draw audiences in, a power-house voice, and a plucky likability—Danielle won Canada’s heart and the role of Dorothy in the Toronto production of THE WIZARD OF OZ.

Before her stardom in Canada, though, we discovered Danielle at a University of Windsor (Ontario) workshop and featured her in our fourth “Barely Legal Show-Tune Extravaganza” (her US debut), where she premiered “New York, Do You Care?”

We’re thrilled that she’s returning to New York to sing an entire evening of our work; no one does it better! For those of you who don’t know Danielle’s work yet, prepare to be astounded!

Danielle will be joined by three amazing guest stars: Derek Klena (DogFight, Wicked, Bridges…), Natalie Weiss (Everyday Rapture, Les Mis, Wicked), and Stephen C. Anthony (Book of Mormon, Catch Me If You Can) Derek KlenaNatalie WeissStephen C Anthony“Danielle Wade Sings Carner & Gregor” will be presented on Monday, October 13th at 9:30pm at the Metropolitan Room, 34 West 22nd St., New York, NY / (212) 206-0440.
