Principal POPS Conductor Michael Feinstein puts down the conducting baton and picks up the microphone for one night only to sing a full concert devoted to Broadway for Michael Feinstein Sings Broadway on Saturday, July 29 at the Los Angeles County Arboretum. An old-fashioned crooner with luxuriant vocals that meld the traditions of old and new, Feinstein has been dubbed the “Ambassador of the Great American Songbook” for his preserving, presenting and interpreting of that seminal body of work. The multi-platinum-selling, two-time Emmy and five-time Grammy Award-nominated entertainer has curated an evening saluting the giants of Broadway in quintessential Feinstein fashion, covering the gamut from Gershwin to Sondheim and even Carole King and Barry Manilow. Highlights include hits from South Pacific, My Fair Lady, Hello Dolly, Into the Woods, Les Misérables and Beautiful, among many other beloved show tunes.
“Broadway has a legacy that has offered so many different kinds of music, and it is my goal to present some of the more classic Broadway music in confluence with some of the more wonderful contemporary music that is still emanating from that very special place. I’m particularly looking forward to singing the music of everything from Gershwin and Sondheim to music from Les Misérables and more contemporary classic musicals.” – Michael Feinstein
