The Broadway at Birdland concert series presented acclaimed singers
Jenna Esposito and
Jim Van Slyke in a sold-out celebration of the music of
Connie Francis and
Neil Sedaka in "Where The Hits Are: A Tribute to the Songs of
Connie Francis and
Neil Sedaka" on Monday, December 30. Fortune Esposito was musical director/guitarist, with David Crone on piano, Rob Broelmann on bass,
Dan Weiner on drums, Frank Petrocelli on sax, and Kelly Esposito-Broelmann &
Rob Langeder were on backup vocals. Check out a look back below!
Over the past ten years, the award-winning Broadway at Birdland concert series has brought hundreds of Broadway and cabaret stars to the historic stage of Birdland, including
Liza Minnelli,
Chita Rivera,
Christine Ebersole,
Tom Wopat,
Jason Robert Brown,
Frank Wildhorn and
Cyndi Lauper. The Monday series is always followed by
Jim Caruso's Cast Party, a rollicking, inpromptu and 'extreme' open mic night.
