Betsy Wolfe: All Bets Are Off
March 6-9 at Feinstein's/54 Below - BUY TICKETS

Through her performances on Broadway as Jenna in Waitress and Cordelia in Falsettos, as well as Off-Broadway as Cathy in The Last Five Years, Betsy Wolfe has established herself as one of musical theatre's most keenly intelligent performers. Beyond Broadway, she has performed in sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall and in two operas at The Met. And now, Betsy is doing a cabaret about the magical, mystical miracle, and existential anxiety of show business-but funny! Armed with a high belt and a questionable affinity for casinos, she takes the audience on a romp from cow pasture California to bright-lights-big-city New York to conquer Broadway. With the help of songs by Stephen Sondheim, Stevie Nicks, and Jason Robert Brown, she has a lot to talk about. And sing about. The March 7 performance will feature special guest Jeremy Jordan (Newsies, "SMASH," American Son).
