About The Debut:

With her new album, 'The Debut', multi-platinum recording artist Jackie Evancho will match her extraordinary voice with one of most exciting reemerging genres in popular music today - Broadway's New American Songbook: inspired by the great tradition of Broadway musicals, there's a new generation of groundbreaking songwriters who are revitalizing the musical theater paradigm on both the stage and screen. This 'new Broadway' genre is adding a remarkable new chapter to the Great American Songbook. With breakthrough musicals like Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, Waitress, Once, Spring Awakening and hit films like the Greatest Showman, these songs have permeated mainstream culture - building its already impassioned musical theatre audiences while cultivating a brand-new generation of ultra-engaged young fans.

Jackie will be the first recording artist to embrace this rich body of work and re-invent it as her own.

They tell stories from a fresh, young perspective that are of-the-moment, breathtakingly emotional and unafraid to reach for the beautiful, bold moments of the Broadway art-form is known for.
