"For the past several years, the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts has been hosting a series of concerts entitled "The Seth Rudetsky Concert Series" which feature Sirius XM "On Broadway" radio host Rudetsky with a Broadway performer whom he accompanies on piano and also interviews between songs. This weekend, Rudetsky's guest was Laura Osnes, a two-time Tony Award nominee who won the hearts of TV fans and Broadway lovers when she appeared on the TV reality competition show "Grease: You're the One That I Want," winning the role of Sandy in the 2007 Broadway revival of Grease. For over 90 minutes in Scottsdale, Osnes entertained the audience with humorous and heartfelt stories, plus soaring songs from many shows, including the six Broadway musicals in which she has appeared. Osnes received her two Tony nominations for Bonnie and Clyde and Cinderella, and her clear, soaring soprano voice was on display throughout this concert...Osnes was entirely engaged and generous, not just to the audience but also to Rudetsky, commenting on how great his piano accompaniment was, even though they only rehearsed that afternoon and hadn't done a concert like this in more than a year...The beauty of the concerts in the "Seth Rudetsky Concert Series" is that they provide enjoyable songs performed by Broadway performers along with engaging conversations about their experiences. The Scottsdale Arts venue has unobstructed views and clear sound, which adds to the enjoyment and makes these evenings of songs and stories incredibly entertaining." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
