Photo Coverage: Tony Nominee Butler Peforms At Barnes & Noble

On Thursday May 15th, 2008 Xanadu (and Tony Nominated) star Kerry Butler appeared at Barnes and Noble to a standing room only crowd and performed several songs off her new solo album, "Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust" which is available at http://www.psclassics.com (with a special offer for a signed CD and exclusive video) and at all of your favorite retail and online stores.  

"Recording my CD has been so inspirational for me, with so many of the songs having such great and inspiring messages. One track in particular — "It's a Small World" leading into "God Help the Outcasts" — is one of my favorites. With over 30,000 children dying every day from problems that CAN be solved, I decided I wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of "Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust" to World Vision (http://www.worldvsion.com). World Vision is a highly rated and respectable charity that helps people all over the world struggling from global poverty and hunger. We witnessed their organization first hand when we (my husband and I) went to Ethiopia to pick up our daughter. They do so many wonderful things in dangerous areas of the world, like the Sudan. They help provide food and water where there is none. They assist with education, micro loans and emergency relief. It really is a small world, and we can all make a difference and help out the people who need it most. " -Kerry Butler, May 2008

Under the supervision of music director and album producer Michael Kosarin, with new orchestrations by Broadway's best, including Tony Award-winner Michael Starobin (Assassins, Spelling Bee) and Larry Hochman (Monty Python's Spamalot), "Faith, Trust & Pixie Dust" is filled with Disney songs you know and love - and ones you've never heard before. Butler and music director Kosarin spent months exploring the Disney catalog, sifting through seventy years of material – from wartime standards to newer pop songs – making sure the material remained provocative, unexpected and eclectic even as the "message" stayed on track.
