All guests are seated by 8:00 PM for a private concert in Shea's 710 Theatre with Tony-Award Winner Kelli O’Hara.
Kelli O’Hara, star of stage and screen, has established herself as one of Broadway’s greatest leading ladies. Her portrayal of Anna Leonowens in The King and I garnered her the 2015 Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical, along with Grammy, Drama League, Outer Critics Circle, and Olivier nominations. She reprised the role in her West End debut and performed a limited engagement at Tokyo’s Orb Theatre.
O’Hara received an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Katie Bonner in Topic’s hit web series The Accidental Wolf and can be seen as Aurora Fane on HBO’s hit series, The Gilded Age.
She has been nominated for Tony, Drama Desk, Drama League, and OCC awards for performances in The Bridges of Madison County, South Pacific, and Kiss Me Kate, among others, and was awarded the prestigious Drama League’s Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award in 2019. In 2015, she made her Metropolitan Opera debut in Lehar’s The Merry Widow and has been seen in subsequent productions of Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte and Kevin Puts’ world premiere of The Hours.
As the single biggest fundraising event of the year, it’s an important night for Shea’s and the Arts.
