Felicia Boswell: Last News

EXCLUSIVE: Broadway’s Felicia Boswell (’Jesus Christ Superstar Live In Concert’) will be making her West End debut this July when she takes over from Beverley Knight (Bodyguard Musical), the chart-topping Queen of British Soul, in the enormously enjoyable hit show ‘The Drifters Girl’ which has been running at The Garrick Theatre since last November.

The Signature Show includes stunning performances, captured from their homes, by vocalist Felicia Boswell accompanied by pianist Mark G. Meadows — a roof-shattering powerhouse riff on “Play The Music for Me” from Jelly’s Last Jam — and vocalist Nora Palka accompanied by percussionist Nathan Ellman-Bell in a timely, moving rendition of Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin.”And then there’s Barrett Wilbert Weed’s enthralling take of “Colored Lights” from The Rink, offered as a coda to an interview with the legendary Chita Rivera led by Matthew Gardiner, Signature’s Associate Artistic Director.With the two conversing over video from their respective homes, Gardiner asks Rivera to reminisce about everything from her upbringing in D.C.
