The Laurie Beechman Theatre will welcome celebrated vocalist Aaron Lee Battle to its stage, for one performance only, on Sunday, September 24th at 4pm.
"Battle will perform a show that celebrates life, his recent journey through it and of course Broadway. Along with him for the ride are the great songs of Harburg, Arlen, Sondheim, Kander and Ebb, Herman and others," state Beechman notes.
Battle will be accompanied by Bobby Peaco
(Rosie's Family Cruise,
Jerry Herman's "Show Tune") at the piano. The show will be directed by Broadway's Eric
Michael Gillett.
Battle, a Bistro Award winner, recently finished a run of his
critically acclaimed show, "Step Right Up." Battle has performed in
cabaret since 1986. He has performed at the Mabel Mercer Foundations
Cabaret Convention at New York's Town Hall and in San Francisco and has
been featured in several cabaret rooms in New York City. He has also performed
throughout the United States, Germany, Northern Europe and Aruba with
several companies of
Ain't Misbehavin; other theatre credits include
