The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra – Symphony Pops!

The Wilmington Symphony Orchestra presents

Symphony Pops! with Linda Lavin and Friends

Saturday, February 11, 2017 – 7:30 p.m.

Tickets for this performance range from $40 – $65 _{+taxes & fees}

Award–winning star of film, television and the stage, Linda Lavin and Wilmington Symphony Pops bring to the Wilson Center stage an unforgettable evening of American jazz and cabaret.  Accompanying and collaborating with Linda is pianist Billy Stritch, himself a gifted and dazzling performer,  along with jazz violinist Aaron Weinstein and Steve Bakunas on drums.

“We are very excited to collaborate with Linda again,” Wilmington Symphony conductor Steven Errante says, “and she lends her incredible voice and musicianship to a sparkling array and eclectic mix of Broadway standards and cabaret songs.”

Still best known to the public as the star of the 1970s sitcom “Alice,” Lavin is cherished by theatre aficionados as one of the great comic-dramatic stage stylists of her generation, a brassy yet subtle performer who has made her mark again and again over the past five decades. After emerging as a dramatic live wire in the 1960s, winning accolades in plays like Little Murders and Last of the Red Hot Lovers, she showed in 1987 she could still dominate a stage, winning a Tony Award for her performance in Neil Simon’s Broadway Bound. She did the same in 2000 with her comedic tour-de-force in Charles Busch’s The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife. Since then, she’s barely given a performance where at least one critic hasn’t said, “See? That’s how it’s done.”

*SPECIAL CABARET SEATING available for this performance!  Bistro tables for two with wine (or beer) and dessert served at intermission. Look for seats with a “C” designation, in the first three rows of the Orchestra level (or Contact Ticket Central directly at (910)362-7999) to purchase.
