Emma Howard (Matilda, Violet) and Jaidyn Young (Annie) are two young veteran Broadway performers who, despite both growing up in Southern California, having mutual friends and sharing a love for musical theater, did not cross paths until they were 11 and 10 years-old at the final auditions for the latest revival of Annie in January 2012.
Emma originated the role of Hortensia in Matilda and was the Featured Gospel Choir Dancer in Violet. Jaidyn performed the roles of Annie, Pepper, Duffy, July and Tessie in over 100 performances of Annie.
While they were both able to fulfill their individual dreams of performing on Broadway, their dream of performing together remain unfulfilled until now: their first two-girl cabaret show entitled TOGETHER AT LAST.
Join these two young Broadway triple-threats as they take you on a musical adventure exploring how they met, their Broadway openings, what it's like being a Broadway kid and their dreams for the future. Along the way, they'll be joined by some surprise Broadway friends who will help make it an evening of family-friendly entertainment not to be missed.
