Broadway and Vine, intersecting the best of Broadway with the best of Wine Country continued its second season Monday with Jelani Remy (Disney's The Lion King, Ain't Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations). Fresh off his run as the Emcee in Goodspeed Opera House's Cabaret, Remy made his Napa Valley solo cabaret debut on Monday, July 11th with Emmy Award Winner Lance Horne. His set included surprise appearances from Sara Schmidt (Jersey Boys) and Ashanti J'Aria (The Prom). Remy and the crowd also sent well wishes via video to Lea Michele who kicked off Broadway and Vine last month. The concert performance featured world class wines from Arietta, Cervantes, Chateau Montelena, Darioush, Frog's Leap, Lloyd Cellars, Olabisi, PEJU, and Prescription Vineyards paired with a culinary experience from Chef Nash Cognetti in a picturesque vineyard setting. Broadway and Vine was founded by Tony Award nominee Jacob Langfelder (Sea Wall/A Life), with a mission to provide mentorship, masterclass and performance opportunities for students and pre-professional performing artists.
