Betty Buckley Sings STORY SONGS Tonight in Norwalk

Tony Award-winning Broadway legend Betty Buckley debuts at the Wall Street Theater (71 Wall Street; Norwalk, CT 06850) with her acclaimed concert Story Songs tonight, November 4, at 7:30 PM.

Story Songs - a collection of music that ranges from Radiohead to theater greats Stephen Schwartz and Jason Robert Brown - was recently released as a two CD-set by Palmetto Records.

The November 4 show will also include material from Buckley's latest show Story Songs #2, which will come out as a new recording in early 2018.

Upon hearing Buckley perform his song "Hope" at Joe's Pub, Tony Award winning composer Jason Robert Brown exclaimed, "In the middle of a thrilling set, she did something virtually impossible - she made me hear my own song differently, made me feel something deeper and more layered than what I knew when I wrote it. She's a unique and extraordinary performer, and I'm so honored to have her bring my songs to life."

Earlier this year, she co-starred in M. Night Shyamalan's newest film Split, a Top Ten International Box Office Hit for 2017, opposite James McAvoy. Split, which reigned as the #1 movie in America for several weeks after its January premiere, co-stars Buckley as McAvoy's psychologist, Dr. Fletcher. She will return to television this fall in with a recurring role on the CW hit "Supergirl." Beginning November 20, Buckley portrays Patricia Arias, adoptive mother of Supergirl's nemeseis Samantha, played by Odette Annable.
