54 Sings History 101: Historical Figures Who Got the Broadway Treatment
January 9, 2024
Do you know what Eva Perón, Princess Diana, and Jesus Christ all have in common? They probably never sang in real life. But that hasn’t stopped us from portraying them as belting, screlting, and ballading versions of themselves for centuries.
History class is in session! Join us for a celebration of some of the most iconic portrayals of real people from history, culture, and politics, featuring selections from Evita, Lizzie, SIX, Diana, and more!
