“A heaven-sent voice that kept soaring back up to celestial heights.” —The New York Times on Leslie Uggams
Consummate entertainer and beloved singer Leslie Uggams gives a rare concert of songs that reflect her ground-breaking career, most recently having performed on Broadway in the revival of On Golden Pond opposite James Earl Jones and in Thoroughly Modern Millie. Uggams burst onto the national scene in Mitch Miller’s Sing Along with Mitch and went on to increasing fame, winning a Tony Award for the lead role in the Broadway sensation Hallelujah, Baby! and breaking barriers on television with her musical variety show The Leslie Uggams Show and her acclaimed portrayal of Kizzy in Roots.
