Julie Budd Comes to L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre Tonight

The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center presents one of the most exciting vocalists of our time, Ms. Julie Budd, making a long anticipated return to Los Angeles after an eight year hiatus. This special, one-night-only concert appearance presents a rare opportunity to see Ms. Budd (who has thrilled audiences in such venues as Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center and the London Palladium) in the intimate setting of the Center's beautiful Renberg Theatre.

Ms. Budd has sold out concert halls as a headliner and as a guest artist with symphony orchestras nationwide. She began her professional career at age 12 and has shared stages with such legendary performers as Frank Sinatra, Carol Burnett and Bill Cosby and has established herself as one of the foremost musical artists of our time. She has performed her one-woman show and toured extensively with many great maestros, notably her dear friend, the late, great Marvin Hamlisch.
