Broadway Unplugged at Town Hall
Scott Siegel's new season of Town Hall/Broadway By the Year events continued on Monday night with the 5th annual BROADWAY UNPLUGGED concert, where Broadway singers perform an entire concert without amplification. Why is that such a big deal? Nowadays, it's extremely rare to hear singers perform in a 1500-seat theater without the aid of microphones. It truly does change their vocal technique and delivery.
Some highlights included Ashley Brown ("I Happen to Like New York," "I'll Know"), Ron Bohmer ("Trouble"), Aaron Lazar ("Stranger in Paradise), Bill Daugherty ("Betrayed," "Lily's Eyes" with William Michals), Julia Murney ("Wherever He Ain't," "Will He Like Me"), Marc Kudisch ("Bless Your Beautiful Hide"), Chuck Cooper ("Lost in the Stars," "Honeysuckle Rose"), Lorinda Lisitza ("Pirate Jenny"), Jeff McCarthy ("Once Upon a Time," "My Ship"), and a very pregnant Christine Noll ("Our Story Goes On").
