It is directed by Lisa Milinazzo, with music direction by John DiPinto and features Rosemary Loar, Rich Hebert (Les Miserables), Raissa Katona Bennett (Phantom Of The Opera) and Alicia Irving (Les Miserables), Andrea Dotto, Emily Briggs and Sadie Gracelynn Trigg. As the day unfolds Wildberry is confronted by a decision she must make. Will she say goodbye and make peace with her dying father? It is a heartwarming story of reconciliation between an Irish American daughter and her hard headed father; heartbreaking and absurdly humorous. Sometimes the only way to drown out your father's voice is to find your own. Reserve through Brown Paper Tickets at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2471372

SAN FRANCISCO, CA: JOHN PIZZARELLI & JESSICA AT MOLASKEY BAY AREA CABARET

BAY AREA CABARET (bayareacabaret.org/ ) presents Grammy-nominated jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli and Nightlife Award-winning Broadway singer Jessica Molaskey in the West Coast debut of their latest show, Grownup Songs on Sunday, January 10th with performances at 4:00 & 7:00 pm at THE FAIRMONT VENETIAN ROOM (950 Mason Street, San Francisco, CA - TKTS: 415-392-4400) . The long and committed marriage of this musical pair deepens their onstage performance and brings nuance and a more profound understanding to the music they perform. With songs ranging from Stephen Sondheim to Irving Berlin, Grownup Songs was named one of the year's Ten Best Shows by Time Magazine. Pizzarelli not only sings, but also plays the seven-string guitar through most of the show. And Pizzarelli and Molaskey's approach is to pair unlikely songs in revealing medleys offering distinctive interpretations of covers they sing as well as the performance of their own original material. There is a $55 cover.
