Breaking News: Jennifer Holliday to sing in Gay Mens Chorus of Los Angeles “Broadway!” concert in June

And I am telling you… I AM going to the Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles June concert Broadway! Gay men and show tunes? Who knew? And here’s the big news being broken exclusively on Greg In Hollywood: Tony winner Jennifer Holliday will be a guest performer during two of the weekend’s three concerts June 27 and 28.

How cool is that?

I’m a huge fan of the chorus and just loved their recent concert of  award-winning songs (see review HERE)

For those who don’t know, Miss Holliday is a Broadway legend who won her Tony fior her legendary performance as Effie in the original production of Dreamgirls. It’s the role that won Jennifer Hudson the Oscar in the movie version. Holliday’s signature number, And I’m Teling You (I’m Not Going) has been a showstopper whenever she sings it. The many ardent fans of the two-time Grammy winner have remained faithful to her for more than two decades since her first performance in Dreamgirls.

Broadway! will consist of both classic and recent musical numbers that have defined the boards of the Great White Way. Including contemporary numbers from The Lion King, Young Frankenstein, Spring Awakening, Aida, as well as classic Broadway hits such as The King & I, Zorba, Milk and Honey, South Pacific, Company, Passion, Follies, Steel Pier, and, of course, Dreamgirls!

The show will be held at the Alex Theatre in Glendale Saturday, June 27  at 3pm (no Holliday appearance at that show) and 8pm Sunday, June 28th at 3pm. Jennifer will also appear at the VIP reception following Sunday’s performance.

Tickets go on sale May 1 — $30 (general) at 818-243-ALEX (2539)
