Gracie McGraw is a singer and actor with over 13 years of theatre experience. While has yet to be in show on Broadway or London’s West End, that may be about to change. Gracie decided it was time to show New York that she’s here and ready to give it her all. Gracie comments “ ‘I Will Probably Cry’ is the name of the show because, well, I will probably cry. I get very emotional when singing these songs because they say the words that I can’t. I’m sure people will relate. I’m just so grateful and truly agog about making my solo debut. Pretty crazy! Thank you to Chelsea Table + Stage for this amazing opportunity!”
