Melba Moore Will Celebrate Broadway Greats in Upcoming NYC Concerts

Broadway and concert star Melba Moore is making a rare return to the New York City cabaret world later this summer.

The famed artist is scheduled to play 54 Below July 9-10 at 7 PM in an evening entitled From Broadway With Love. She will be joined by a trio led by musical director Darnell White.

Three-time Grammy nominee Moore told 半岛体育, "I will honor icons from the Broadway musicals and plays that I have been in. I will perform some of my classic R&B songs as well. Come join the celebration!"

Raised in NYC with professional musicians as parents, Moore initially stepped into the industry singing background vocals for Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, which led to her Broadway debut, succeeding Diane Keaton in the musical Hair. Moore went on to win the 1970 Tony for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her portrayal of Lutiebelle in the musical Purlie. Her additional Broadway credits include Timbuktu!, Inacent Black, and Les Miserables.

Attendees can expect to hear Moore's renditions of Broadway classics originally performed by Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Diahann Carroll, and more.
