Three-time Tony Award nominee Carolee Carmello will make a rare appearance Feb. 17 in her long-awaited Bay Area concert debut at the Orinda Theatre. In an illustrious career that has spanned over two decades, Carmello has been honored with three Tony Award nominations and has appeared in 14 Broadway musicals. Her most recent Broadway roles include Mae Tuck in
"Tuck Everlasting" and Mrs. du Maurier in "Finding Neverland" with Matthew Morrison and Kelsey Grammar for which she earned Tony and Drama Desk nominations.
Carmello says she will be singing lots of songs from shows she's done on Broadway and Off, but will also be singing the song that made her fall in love with theater in her college dorm production of
"Oliver!" She will also be telling stories about the experiences she's had along the way.
Some of Carmello's other starring roles include "Sister Act," "The Addams Family" (Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations), Elton John's
"Lestat" (Tony and Drama Desk nominations), Stephen Sondheim's "Sweeney Todd" and
"Mamma Mia!"
