Singer Jennifer Roberts returns to Manhattan with Jennifer Roberts: She Loves…Sheldon! to toast legendary Broadway lyricist and composer Sheldon Harnick, celebrating his impressive body of work, on Tuesday, November 5 at 9:15 PM. Roberts will be joined in the special performance at Don’t Tell Mama by musical director Tedd Firth and bassist Steve Doyle.
Directed by Lance Roberts, the show will feature hits from Harnick’s greatest and most-popular shows, including Fiddler On The Roof and She Loves Me. Roberts also promises “several hidden gems” of rarely/if ever heard songs by the three-time Tony Award winner. Mr. Harnick supplied three of the songs himself, that were either never in print or out of print, while a friend of the composer’s provided a rarely-heard number from Harnick’s “Hidden Treasures” album. Arrangements by Tedd Firth are in varied styles—“jazz-infused, a little blues and more.”
Roberts regional credits include Sarah Brown opposite Broadway leading man Tom Wopat in Guys and Dolls, Guenevere in Camelot, directed by Tod Booth, and in both the soprano and alto roles in several versions of The All Night Strut, directed by Fran Charnas. She has numerous radio and television commercials to her crredit, as well as film and television appearances. Roberts has played top cabaret rooms in NYC, and is proud to bring her show back for one night only. She is known for her heartfelt, entertaining shows that highlight her wide vocal range.
Jennifer’s first album, with Tedd Firth, Steve Doyle and Tom Hubbard, entitled “An Evening with Jennifer Roberts” was released in 2018 and received a 2019 MAC Nomination.
