Where
Walker Recital Hall
Dubbed The Voice of Broadway, Betty Buckley helped to revolutionize modern musical theatre through her acclaimed performances in 1776, Pippin, The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Carrie, and Cats, which earned her the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. She received her second Tony nomination for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance as Hesione in Triumph of Love and received an Olivier Award nomination for her critically acclaimed interpretation of Norma Desmond in the London production of Sunset Boulevard, which she repeated to more rave reviews on Broadway. Her film credits include Brian de Palmas Carrie, Bruce Beresfords Tender Mercies, M. Night Shyamalans Split, and, most recently, the Blumhouse horror film Imaginary. Her recent T.V. credits include Law & Order: SVU, The Cleaning Lady, and Preacher, and she starred for four seasons as Abby Bradford on the hit series Eight is Enough.
Seth Rudetsky spent many years on Broadway as a pianist and conductor, as well as two years as a comedy writer on The Rosie ODonnell Show, for which he received three Emmy nominations with his co-writers. He is now the afternoon deejay on the SiriusXM Broadway channel, as well as the host of Seth Speaks. He has performed his show Deconstructing Broadway in London, Boston (Irne award), and L.A. (with Barbra Streisand in the audience!). He co-wrote and co-starred in Disaster! (NY TIMES critics pick) on Broadway, which was licensed by Music Theatre International and is being performed around the country. His books include Seths Broadway Diary Volume 1 and 2 (Dress Circle publishing), My Awesome/Awful Popularity Plan and The Rise and Fall of a Theatre Geek (Random House), as well as the recently released Musical Theatre for Dummies.
