Overview
Join us for an electrifying evening with Jenn Colella as she shares powerhouse showstoppers from her celebrated Broadway career (SUFFS, Come From Away, If/Then, Chaplin, High Fidelity, Urban Cowboy) along with deeply personal storytelling, pop covers, and signature rock anthems.
Come see why BroadwayWorld cabaret critic Stephen Mosher says, “I don’t believe I have ever seen an artist work a room the way that this singing actress does, and that’s what had me gobsmacked. Anybody who has only ever seen her play a part should get her concert appearances on their radar so that they, too, can go and learn, first-hand, what it is to be gobsmacked by Colella.”
