Amanda McBroom & George Ball in
“One Enchanted Evening”
Musical Director, Michele Brourman

 

            Amanda McBroom has been called “...the greatest cabaret performer of her generation, an urban poet who writes like an angel and has a voice to match.”  She first came to the attention of the music public when Bette Midler's version of Amanda's song "THE ROSE" hit number one on the charts in 1979. Since then, her songs have been recorded by such diverse artists as Anne Murray, The Manhattan Transfer, Barry Manilow, Harry Belafonte, Barbara Cook, and Judy Collins.  She has been a recipient of the Johnny Mercer Songwriter of the Year Award.
            She was staff composer for the television series COP ROCK, and has been the lyricist for the animated musical features LAND BEFORE TIME III-XIII, AN AMERICAN TAIL, HERCULES AND XENA, BALTO and THE CHIPMUNKS MEET FRANKENSTEIN.
          Amanda recorded two direct-to-disc CDs for the prestigious Sheffield Labs label: GROWING UP IN HOLLYWOOD and WEST OF OZ.  Recordings on her own label, Gecko Records, include DREAMING, MIDNIGHT MATINEE, A WAITING HEART, PORTRAITS, and the score from her one-woman musical, A WOMAN OF WILL. Her most recent recording is a CD of her interpretations of the music of Jacques Brel.
            Her extensive performances include such venues as Carnegie Hall, Rainbow and Stars in New York,   The Kennedy Center, and concerts in London, Taiwan, Melbourne, and Sydney, Australia.
             She has appeared on and off-Broadway and in many television productions. Her own musical, HEARTBEATS, made its world premiere at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego in the summer of 1990, and has received many successful productions throughout the country.  Her latest musical, A WOMAN OF WILL, starring Amanda, opened Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre in New York in 2006. She has recorded cast albums for both of these musicals. Please visit www.amcbroom.com.

            George Ball has appeared on and off Broadway in JACQUES BREL IS ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING IN PARIS. He also starred in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, and Dutch productions, as well as having co-produced and directed the Palm Springs Center Theater production of the same musical.
            He starred in the pre-Broadway production of the new musical, COWBOY, in New York. He played the irascible sheriff Ed Earle Dodd in the Pittsburgh C.L.O. and San Jose C.L.O. productions of BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS and the leading role of Ben Rumson in the Goodspeed Opera House revival of PAINT YOUR WAGON, and most recently created the role of Horace Taber in the new musical SILVER DOLLAR also at the Goodspeed Opera House.
            George Ball’s other stage credits include leads in BRECHT, SACRED AND PROFANE, VINCENT, and MERRY-GO-ROUND. He originated the role of Steve, the husband in the musical HEARTBEATS at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego, and the role of Man One in HARRY CHAPIN, LIES AND LEGENDS at the Apollo Theatre in Chicago.  He won both the Dramalogue and L.A. Drama Critics Circle Awards for his recreation of that role at the Pasadena Playhouse and the Canon Theatre in Los Angeles.
