CHRISTINE PEDI IS WINGING IT AT BIRDLAND Opens 3/16

Jim Caruso's Cast Party is proud to announce Christine Pedi IS WINGING IT AT BIRDLAND, a new musical extravaganza, on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 7pm, as part of the Nightlife Award-winning concert series Broadway at Birdland.

Longtime Forbidden Broadway diva, Christine Pedi comes out of her shell, let's her hair down and throws caution to the musical comedy wind in WINGING IT. Expect hilarity & heartbreak, silly songs, satire, standards and the occasional channelling of a famous diva or two, or three...or more!

Well-known for her long association with Forbidden Broadway, Christine Pedi's skilled mimicry and theater superstar impersonations have earned her Drama Desk and LA Ovation Award nominations. She's has appeared in FB companies all over the world including LA, Tokyo, Singapore, Australia and London's West End and recorded many cast albums. Her work in New York nightclubs has earned her a Nightlife Award, Show Business Weekly Awards, a MAC Award for her turn as Liza Minnelli in "Judy & Liza Live", as well as a guest spot on John McD's Cabaret Corner on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show." PEDI made her Broadway debut in the revival of Little Me and was most recently seen, or rather heard, on Broadway in Talk Radio with Liev Schrieber, when she portrayed a wide variety of opinionated and colorful "callers." Other NYC credits include A Broadway Diva Christmas, and appearances in the "Broadway by the Year" series at Town Hall. You can hear Christine daily on SIRIUS-XM Radio's "Broadway Breakfast," playing showtunes and interviewing theatre legends on the "ON BROADWAY" channel. She has performed for President and Mrs. Clinton (playing Mrs. Clinton), appeared at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall, and headlined on the luxury ship Queen Mary 2. Fans of "The Sopranos" may recognize Christine as the dearly departed Mrs Bobby Baccala. Her upcoming cd is called "Good To Mama."
