Sarah returns to Feinstein's/54 Below after flying across the country by broom as the Elphaba u/s on the national tour of Wicked, fulfilling her ultimate life-long dream and marking her as one of the youngest girls to don the green paint and witch hat in the show's history. So... now what? How do you top your ultimate dream? After having almost 2 years at home to think about this, she has an answer: let's sing about it. Spend an evening with Sarah, and some of her Broadway friends, as she navigates what's next in her life through the songs that she holds closest to her heart. From musical theatre classics to previews of her original music - and everything else in between - Sarah will take audiences on a musical tour of the hilarious and heartwarming highs and lows of her career thus far.

The concert will be music directed and played by Sinai Tabak (The Cher Show). Filling out the band will be Matt SanGiovanni (Dear Evan Hansen) on guitar, Joshua Roberts (Modern Drummer Magazine's #3 Up and Coming Drummer in the World) on drums, Sasha Ono on cello and Nic Mrakovcic on bass.
