Rubicon Theatre Company Presents Teri Bibb in "Once Upon a Song"

Celebrate the singers and songs of the silver screen when Broadway leading lady TERI BIBB debuts her new concert ONCE UPON A SONG as part of the 2017 Janet and Mark L. Goldenson Broadway Concert Series at Rubicon Theatre Company. Bibb’s soaring soprano has thrilled audiences across the continent and throughout the world. In addition to performing on Broadway and tour as Christine in The Phantom of the Opera (more than 1,000 performances), she has given a command performance at the White House, on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” and on the stages of Radio City Music Hall, Carnegie Hall and London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In this tribute, Bibb shares her personal connection to the women who inspired her and helped shape her career. The concert features tunes from classic golden era films sung by Jane Powell, Kathryn Grayson, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews, Shirley Jones, and more, and is an evening of glorious singing, stories and a musical surprise or two. Bibb is joined by Musical Director R.L. Rowsey and directed by Rubicon Associate Artistic Director Brian McDonald. Teri Bibb in ONCE UPON A SONG comes to Ventura for three-performances-only: Saturday, August 19 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday, August 20 at 2 p.m.

In addition to her extraordinary run in Phantom, Bibb’s credits include the Broadway revival of She Loves Me in the role of Amalia, and more than 50 musicals across the country. Along the way, Bibb has been honored for her work on stage with a Helen Hayes Award nomination and a Carbonell Award. She played the title role in Fanny, opposite the late José Ferrer at the Paper Mill Playhouse and starred in the World Premieres of two musicals: Songs from the Tall Grass at the Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. and Children of the Night with the Katselas Theatre Company in Beverly Hills, for which she received an Ovation Award nomination. She recently toured as Marian in The Music Man in Concert with Patrick Cassidy and one of her idols, Shirley Jones.

Bibb has been a featured soloist in gala tributes honoring Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Stephen Sondheim, and Harold Prince, including "The Broadway Prince" at Carnegie Hall and seven annual "The Night of 1,000 Voices" concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall. She sang duets with tenor José Carreras at Radio City Music Hall and starred in "One Enchanted Evening" in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Bibb has sung with orchestras across the US, including the Santa Fe, St. Louis, Cape and Pacific Symphonies, the California Philharmonic and the New York Pops; and can be heard on the recordings "Unsung Irving Berlin" and "A Gala Concert for Hal Prince.”

In Los Angeles, Bibb played Clara in the L.A. concert premiere of Passion and was featured in Rodgers & Hart & Hammerstein for the Reprise Theatre Company.

She has guest starred on television, been a supporting player on film, and has sung on several film scores, including “Ice Age” and “Polar Express.” She was also a guest soloist on ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.” Bibb is co-creator and member of “The Phantom’s Leading Ladies,” a trio of “Christines” from Phantom. www.TeriBibb.com
