Trio of Broadway singers at Bucks County Playhouse in solo performances

Bucks County Playhouse will welcome a trio of powerhouse Broadway singers for a series of concerts to kick off its 2023 Visiting Artist Series.

The three singers, who individually are covering music made famous by some of the most popular women of song, will appear in three solo concerts in February, March and April. Carter Calvert, familiar to audiences from the Playhouse’s production of “Always…Patsy Cline,” Yardley’s own Christy Altomare from Broadway’s “Anastasia” and Elizabeth Ward Land from Broadway’s “Amazing Grace” will each take the stage at the Playhouse for one night only. Tickets are on sale now at buckscountyplayhouse.org or by contacting the box office at 215-862-2121.

Bucks County Playhouse’s Visiting Artist Series represents one of the few times on the calendar when outside producers take the stage to showcase their work. Well-known and unique performers from across the country — and around the globe — join local favorites for a lineup of crowd-pleasing fare that run through the end of the year.

At 8 p.m. Feb. 18, Broadway’s sweetheart and Yardley native, Christy Altomare returns to Bucks County Playhouse with a new solo concert. Altomare sold out two performances with her solo concert debut at the Playhouse in 2022. Altomare originated the role of Anya in the Broadway production of “Anastasia,” for which she received the Theatre World Award and was nominated for an Outer Critics Award and a Drama Desk Award for lead actress in a musical.

At 8 p.m. March 18, Broadway veteran Elizabeth Ward Land (“Amazing Grace,” “Memphis,” “The Scarlet Pimpernel”) stars in “Still Within the Sound of My Voice: The Songs of Linda Ronstadt.” The winner of a 2020 Bistro Award touches on genres including rock, country, folk, light opera, big band, and mariachi.

At 2 p.m. April 1, Broadway star and recording artist Carter Calvert (“Cats,” “Smokey Joe’s Cafe,” and the Tony-nominated “It Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues”) floats effortlessly between Broadway, pop, jazz, and country in her funny and yet heartfelt take on “making it in the biz” in “Viva La Diva.”

Single tickets are on sale now. Tickets start at $45; special rates are available for groups of 10 or more. For complete details, up-to-date pricing and to purchase tickets, visit buckscountyplayhouse.org, call 215-862-2121, or visit the box office at 70 S. Main St., New Hope.
