On Friday, July 24 at 8:30pm, Grammy Award-winner and Decca recording artist Paula Cole is set to join Eden Espinosa on stage as special guest for 'Eden Espinosa: Me' concert under the stars at the Ford Amphitheatre, 2580 Cahuenga Blvd. East, Hollywood, CA 90068. Presented by Chris Isaacson and Shane Scheel as part of Upright Cabaret's Wicked Summer Nights.

Grammy Award-winning and Decca recording artist Paula Cole, whose song "Me" was the original inspiration for Espinosa to begin work on this concert,  is a female singer/songwriter who rose to prominence in the mid-'90s with her hit single, "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" Her first big break arrived in 1993 when Peter Gabriel asked her to join his Secret World Tour. In 1997, the album "This Fire," became a word-of-mouth hit. Paula participated in the first Lilith Fair in 1997 and in the same year, won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. In 1998, she scored with the hit single, "I Don't Want to Wait," popularized as the theme to the WB show Dawson's Creek.

Ms. Cole will officially kick-off her West Coast tour here in Los Angeles on Saturday, July 25 with a free summer concert at Pershing Square's Downtown Stage, but will make a special appearance on stage with Eden Espinosa on Friday, July 24 to celebrate Eden's triumphant return to Los Angeles!

Directed by Broadway/recording star Billy Porter and Music Directed by Chris Bratten, 'Eden Espinosa: ME' marks the solo concert debut of Broadway and Wicked star Eden Espinosa (Broadway: Brooklyn, Wicked, Rent). Espinosa will  "shed the green" from her most famous role (Elphaba) to share a piece of herself in "ME", singing songs that are close to her heart by the artists who have inspired her. Singer/Songwriter Audra Mae is also set to perform.
