Coaches appeared on Broadway in the musical Waitress as well as the national tour of Disenchanted: The Musical. Chicago Theatre Review calls her, "transcendent...a gifted, glittering songstress."
In a spellbinding concert performance, Coaches effortlessly emits the sultry swing and playful joy that made Ella an American treasure. Classic tunes, performed with a live band, include "Summertime," "The Lady is a Tramp," and "It Don't Mean a Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing."
