Champlin is the latest performer to be featured in the series, which presents new Broadway actors in an intimate setting. Champlin's 8 PM concert will include a mix of songs and stories: Concertgoers can expect to hear Broadway tunes, Irish classics and gospel favorites. The actress, according to press notes, is also "bringing along tales of her most embarrassing moments, and the audience gets to choose which ones they want to hear." Andrew Gerle will be the musical director.
