The California Dreamin' team includes three creatives who have all worked with Vosk in the past: visionary director James Darrah, celebrated for his visually and emotionally arresting work at the intersection of theater, opera and film, who worked with Vosk on the PBS Great Performances broadcast The Bernstein Centennial Celebration at Tanglewood; ACT of CT's music supervisor Bryan Perri featured Vosk in a one-night-only Broadway Unplugged performance; and multi-talented, award-winning Broadway music director and composer Mary-Mitchell Campbell directed Vosk's sold out Carnegie Hall debut. Additional vocalists TBA join Vosk in bringing these timeless songs to life. Best known for her starring role on Broadway as Elphaba in Wicked, and as an acclaimed concert performer, Vosk marks this L&L debut as a departure from the Broadway and pop material for which she's become known and a return to the childhood passions which first stirred her love of music. "I grew up listening to my parents' records, pretending to be Linda Ronstadt and my dad used these songs to teach me about harmony," Vosk recalls. "The lyrics tell such wonderful stories about success, failure, heartbreak, falling and getting back up; they're like monologues about life experiences. And while they're very personal for me, they're also universal. I want the audience to feel like they're in my living room, listening to music that elicits their own memories and emotions." Musicians Justin Smith, violin/fiddle Eric B. Davis, guitar Alexandra Eckhardt, bass Additional musicians TBA About The 92nd Street Y, New York: The 92nd Street Y, New York (92NY) is a world-class center for the arts and innovation, a convener of ideas, and an incubator for creativity. 92NY offers extensive classes, courses and events online including live concerts, talks and master classes; fitness classes for all ages; 250+ art classes, and parenting workshops for new moms and dads.
