Tony, Emmy and Grammy-Nominated Actor and Singer Opens the Great Hall Concert Series with a One-Night-Only Performance
Acclaimed actor and singer Lauren Ambrose will open the 13th season of the Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series with a special, one-night-only evening of music and storytelling at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 19, at Needham Town Hall.
Joined by Grammy-nominated pianist, singer and songwriter Matt Cusson, Ambrose is creating an intimate evening of songs, stories and special guests exclusively for the Great Hall audience.
A Tony, Emmy and Grammy nominee, Ambrose is known for her work across theater, television and film, from her Tony-nominated performance as Eliza Doolittle in&nbsp;My Fair Lady&nbsp;to her Emmy-nominated role in&nbsp;Six Feet Under, as well as&nbsp;Yellowjackets,&nbsp;Buried Child,&nbsp;Awake and Sing!,&nbsp;Romeo and Juliet,&nbsp;Hamlet&nbsp;and&nbsp;Exit the King.
Ambrose has built a career moving fluidly between music, theater, television and film. Her connection to Needham is also a personal one: her husband, filmmaker Sam Handel, is a Needham native, and the community has long been part of her family's life.
&ldquo;Lauren has been on our wish list for years, and we are thrilled that she is joining us to open our 13th season,&rdquo; said Michael Greis, co-president of the Great Hall Concert Foundation. &ldquo;This will be a truly special evening &mdash; an intimate performance created specifically for our audience, bringing together Lauren&rsquo;s extraordinary gifts as both an actor and a singer, alongside Matt Cusson and some special guests.&rdquo;
The Great Hall Concert Series season will also feature Herman&rsquo;s Hermits starring Peter Noone (November 2026), Seraph Brass (March 2027), and Adrian Galante (May 2027).
