Television and Broadway Veteran Tom Wopat Performs at the Kate

OLD SAYBROOK, CT - The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, “the Kate”, is pleased to welcome Tom Wopat on Friday, January 10, 2020 at 8:00 pm.

All it takes is a phrase or two from Tom Wopat’s warm, engaging baritone to trigger the desire to hear more. And the more one listens, the better it gets – from the way he finds the heart of a song’s story to his lyrical phrasing and his gently swinging, jazz-infused rhythms.

From music from the Great American Songbook, Broadway show tunes, and contemporary works from the likes of Paul Simon and James Taylor, Tom applies his far-ranging interpretive skills to discovering new, intriguing musical twists. At first glance, that could be viewed as a surprisingly diverse program of material from a performer who may be best known for his starring role in the ‘80s hit television series “The Dukes of Hazzard.” But his versatility was there from the beginning, and on full display in a career reaching from his television work of the ‘70s and ‘80s to high visibility Broadway roles in 1999’s “Annie Get Your Gun: and 2008’s “Catered Affair” (he received Tony Award nominations for both), as well as “Chicago,” “Forty-Second Street,” “Sondheim on Sondheim” and more.
