Audra McDonald is one of the most decorated performers in the business. The Juilliard-trained soprano has won a record-breaking six Tony Awards for her work in productions like Carousel and A Raisin in the Sun, two Grammy Awards, and an Emmy. As an actress, she starred in the “Grey’s Anatomy” spin-off “Private Practice,” and more recently she lent her effortless yet powerful voice to NBC’s “The Sound of Music Live!” and Disney’s live action Beauty and the Beast. McDonald will command the stage for an uplifting evening of song and story.
