The Duplex Cabaret will continue its "Broadway Downtown" series on Monday, April 3rd at 7pm with a concert performed by Trent Armand Kendall.
Kendall will break away from rehearsal for
Li'l Abner at the
Goodspeed Opera House in East Hadam, CT, where he will be playing the
role of Marryin' Sam (April 21st – July 8th), in a production directed
by
Scott Schwartz.
The concert will be an "eclectic evening of music entitled
Who Am I?: a blended confection of sweet jazz, hot blues, tasty pop,
savory T&B, delectable Broadway and gritty gospel." Also featured
will be never-before-heard original songs by songwriter Michael Polese,
arranged by Kendall.
Kendall most recently appeared on Broadway in the Tony Award-winning revival of
Stephen Sondheim's
