A trio of fast-rising gifted artists, all veterans of the popular musical collective Postmodern Jukebox, are making plans to criss-cross the nation as part of an anticipated national tour with their all-new concert entitled Some Enchanted Evening. Produced and managed by IMG Artists, the Some Enchanted Evening North American tour is on sale now.
Emmy® nominated trumpeter Benny Benack III and internet sensation vocalist Stella Cole share top-billing in Some Enchanted Evening, a jazz-steeped sojourn exploring a bevy of The Great American Songbook’s most enduring hits from the Golden Age of Broadway to today. The two exceptionally talented artists will be joined by tap dance phenom Jabu Graybeal as well as a five-piece band. The concert program includes selections from many shows from Broadway and the Silver Screen including The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music, Guys & Dolls, Hamilton, Oliver! and of course, South Pacific.
Some Enchanted Evening celebrates a century of music from Broadway favorites, seamlessly blending timeless music and dance, with jazzy takes on beloved classics (“Over the Rainbow,” “The Sound of Music”) to contemporary hits (“My Shot”). Some Enchanted Evening is more than a show. It’s an unforgettable experience that pays homage to the enduring legacy of Broadway, bringing together music and dance in a way that resonates with audiences of all ages.
Ahead of the anticipated tour, Benny Benack III states, “Our concert is the perfect marriage between the majesty of musical theatre, with the spontaneity of Swing! So many songs from the Golden Era of Broadway have become part of the jazz canon, so it’s a perfect fusion. Stella Cole is a modern-day starlet of stage and screen, and Jabu is the most exciting and show-stopping tap dancer in the world right now. Combining all of these talents together feels like we just assembled the Avengers of showbiz – get your popcorn ready!”
Stella Cole adds, “I’m excited to perform alongside Benny and Jabu because we’re all such different artists, and we’ll all have really different takes on this repertoire. It’s going to feel like a night out at an old school variety show, where they had lots of musicians, singers, and dancers. Seriously, I can’t wait!”
The band will also include Miki Yamanaka (Piano; October 2-20 & November 15), Liya Grigoryan (Piano; October 23-November 14 & November 16 & 17), Russell Hall (Bass), Joe Peri (Drums) and Jarien Jamanila (Saxophone).
