I was recently asked to come to NYC to sing with Broadway stars in an event called '20 & Under sing 20 & Over' at Broadway's notable and famous club "Feinstein's 54 Below'. The event is where "rising stars" under 20 sing songs from musicals over 20 years old with Broadway stars. The event is on July 31st and it is live streamed as well.
