Barrington Stage Company, the award-winning regional theatre in downtown Pittsfield, under the leadership of Julianne Boyd, Artistic Director, and TriStan Wilson, Managing Director, just presented the return of Broadway's Leslie Kritzer in Hello, Gorgeous! Leslie Kritzer Sings Jule Styne, with music director Vadim Feichtner, yesterday, July 30 at the Boyd-Quinson Mainstage, 30 Union Street. BroadwayWorld brings you photos from the concert below!
Leslie is a two-time Drama Desk Award nominee who won everyone's hearts with her portrayal of 'Adelaide' in last year's hit production of Guys and Dolls. Leslie also starred in BSC's Musical Theatre Lab 2010 world premiere of The Memory Show (scheduled for a NY run at The Transport Group).
Notorious for her feisty, antic, hilarious cabaret shows, here Leslie celebrated one of her musical heroes, Jule Styne, the great American songwriter who created the scores of Gypsy, Funny Girl, and Bells Are Ringing, among many others, with songs like "Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry," "Don't Rain on My Parade," and "Just in Time."
Kritzer recently starred in the new Kander and Ebb revue First You Dream at the Kennedy Center and in the NYMF production of A Letter to Harvey Milk. She made her Lincoln Center Songbook debut in February of this year with a sold-out engagement of Hello, Gorgeous! Leslie Kritzer Sings Jule Styne. Kritzer's Broadway credits include Sondheim on Sondheim, A Catered Affair (Drama Desk nomination), Legally Blonde (Clarence Derwent Award for Most Promising Female Performer), and Hairspray. She received critical acclaim and a Time Out New York award for her sold-out Joe's Pub run of Leslie Kritzer is Patti LuPone at Les Mouches (a performance she repeated at the Plush Room in San Francisco). Off-Broadway and regional credits include Judas and Me (NYMF-2009 Outstanding Individual Performance Award), On The Town (Encores!), The Great American Trailer Park Musical (Drama Desk nomination), and the world premiere of Vanities. She has performed at London's Royal Albert Hall as a guest soloist honoring Tim Rice and Alan Menken.
