 | | | Photo provided | | | | | | Andrea McArdle rocketed to stardom as Broadway's original "Annie," for which she was the youngest performer ever nominated for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, winning both the Theatre World and Outer Critics' Circle awards for her performance. On Broadway she originated the roles of Ashley in "Starlight Express" and Margy in "State Fair" and was seen as Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" and as Fantine in "Les Miserables." On tour she starred in "Jerry's Girls," "Les Miserables" as Eponine, "The Wizard of Oz," "Cabaret" and "Peter Pan." McArdle has performed in concert halls from Carnegie Hall to the best showrooms in Las Vegas to the Metropolitan Opera House in New York as well as The White House.
McArdle's show, "'70s and Sunny," is a look at the music of the '70s. The voice that helped define a decade pays tribute to the music that helped define her as an artist and singer. From Broadway to Billy Joel, from disco to Motown, McArdle explores her musical roots and reveals how the girl who danced at Studio 54 evolved into the woman and show business legend she is today. McArdle's cabaret show has received rave reviews across the country.
"We are excited and proud to bring Andrea McArdle to the stunning Orinda Theatre for her first Bay Area appearance in five years," said producer Michal Williams. "The audience will be blown away by Andrea's voice."
Every performance at the Live at the Orinda is different, but the one thing that each show has had in common is the creation of an amazing evening.
