Broadway Singer Kicks Off 2018-19 LIVE! In Roswell Season

ROSWELL, GA — Actress and Broadway singer Terry Burrell will kick off the upcoming LIVE! in Roswell season in October. Burrell will bring her new show, Backstage and Other Stories: Confessions of a Broadway Star, to the Roswell Cultural Arts Center stage at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 13.

Atlanta theatre patrons will know Terry Burrell from her many performances at top theatre companies around town. She is also a hugely accomplished Broadway musical actress, with credits including the original production of "Dreamgirls" and starring roles in major productions of "Thoroughly Modern Millie," Stephen Sondheim’s "Into the Woods", "Eubie," and "Swinging on a Star." She also starred as Julie in the first London production of "Showboat."

Backstage and Other Stories is Burrell's newest solo concert, and in this delightful evening of memories and melodies, Terry will spill the beans. This rare and candid glimpse of life as a performer on the Great White Way will include special vocal arrangements from Burrell’s illustrious career – songs that hold special meaning for Terry as well as tributes to the legendary chanteuses who inspired her – from Lena Horne and Barbra Streisand to Ethel Waters, Eartha Kitt and Judy Garland.
