PALM SPRINGS, CA: FAITH PRINCE AT THE COPA

Tony Award winner Faith Prince performs at THE COPA (244 East Amado Road, Palm Springs CA - 760-866-0021) on Saturday, April 18th at 8:00 pm. Prince dazzles audiences as she moves effortlessly between theatre, concerts, television and movies. Her latest concert, Have A Little Faith, is a "smorgasbord" of Faith Prince: past, present and future. From her memorable Broadway triumphs to tales and songs from her early Off-Broadway gems to her latest Broadway roles, the evening sparkles with doses of Faith's quirky trademark humor as well as touching moments filled with pathos. As hostess of this musical evening, Faith Prince guarantees that the best is yet to come! Faith Prince has been thrilling Broadway audiences since winning the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for her performance as "Ms. Adelaide" in Guys and Dolls. As one of Broadway's best loved leading ladies, Faith can currently be seen as the scheming, irascible "Miss Hannigan" in the revival of Annie. In 2008, she was nominated for Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for A Catered Affair. Other Broadway credits include The Little Mermaid, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle noms), Nick & Nora (Outer Critics Circle Award), Jerome Robbins' Broadway (Tony, Outer Critics Circle noms), Little Me, The Dead, and Noises Off. She also starred in the national tour of the Broadway hit Billy Elliott. Faith currently recurs on Lifetime's hit series Drop Dead Diva as Brooke Elliott's mother, "Elaine" and most recently appeared on the season finale double episode of ABC Family's Melissa & Joey. As a guest artist Faith frequently works with the Boston Pops, Utah Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, and Philly Pops, and recently starred in the Orlando Philharmonic's concert version of Sweeney Todd. Faith's new album, Total Faith, was recently released by Broadway Records. Call for cover/minimum information.
