Deets: Beginning in 2018, Billboard #1 recording artist Shoshana Bean began a holiday tradition with her acclaimed, sold out shows at the world-famous Apollo Theatre in New York City. After the global pandemic forced Broadway and live concert venues to shutter last year, Bean is expanding her global reach and bringing her holiday concert, Sing Your Hallelujah, to Los Angeles on December 18 at Immanuel Presbyterian Cathedral. Joining her are some incredibly talented friends including Broadway star and Emmy® & GRAMMY® nominated actor Cheyenne Jackson, GRAMMY® nominated singer/vocal arranger Jarrett Johnson, singer Kojo Littles, singer Stevie Mackey, Gospel Artist Jason McGee & The Choir, tap dancer Sarah Reich, and singer David Simmons.
In 2020, the global pandemic forced Bean to pivot from the annual live holiday show and she instead brought together a few of her friends including Tony and Olivier Award winner Gavin Creel, tap dance phenom Jared Grimes; Broadway, TV, and film star Jeremy Jordan; recording artist Shayna Steele; “Britain's Got Talent” and #1 Billboard recording artist Connie Talbot; and 2020 Tony Award nominee Daniel J. Watts, to create a holiday concert event filmed live at the Harlem landmark and streamed worldwide. This year, with the world returning to a sense of normalcy and people yearning to attend live music events, Bean will gather friends on the West End, Broadway and Hollywood for her holiday concert, Sing Your Hallelujah.
On December 4, Bean swapped last year’s worldwide streaming film for an in-person evening of elegance, music and joy on the stage in London at Cadogan Hall. She soon will return to where it all began, and where last year’s streamed concert was filmed, Harlem's World-Famous Apollo Theater on December 13. Lastly, Bean will travel across coasts to Los Angeles’ Immanuel Presbyterian Cathedral for a December 18 concert. To purchase tickets or for more information please visit www.singyourhallelujah.com.
The holiday season has always been a light in the darkness, a time to reflect, connect and be grateful. Sing Your Hallelujah uniquely captures that spirit with fresh interpretations of holiday classics, intimate collaborations with special guests and honest reflections as we strive to overcome loss and separation endured during this unprecedented time in history.
Shoshana Bean’s three independent solo albums have all topped the iTunes R&B and Blues charts in the US and UK, with her fourth and most recent project, SPECTRUM, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Jazz charts. She has sold out solo concerts around the globe, lent her voice to countless films and television shows, amassed millions of views on YouTube, and performed alongside Ariana Grande, David Foster, Postmodern Jukebox, Brian McKnight, and Michael Jackson. Shoshana is a veteran of the Broadway stage having made her debut in the original cast of Hairspray, starring as the very first replacement for "Elphaba" in Wicked and most recently as Jenna in Waitress. She won a IRNE Award for her performance as “Fanny Brice” in Funny Girl and earned a Jeff Award nomination for her portrayal of “CeeCee Bloom” in the pre-Broadway musical production of Beaches.
Sing Your Hallelujah is produced by For The Record in New York and Los Angeles, and co-produced by For The Record and Fourth Wall Live in London. David Cook serves as musical director, arranger and plays the piano.
For The Record (FTR) is a breakthrough, genre-bending form of live entertainment, turning the soundtracks of iconic films into thrilling immersive theatrical experiences. What began in 2010 on a cabaret stage in East Hollywood and quickly became a “must-see show” in Los Angeles, a hit special event in NYC, Chicago, at SXSW in Austin and the Montreal International Jazz Festival, FTR has since created BAZ: Star Crossed Love, “the best spectacular you might ever watch” (Las Vegas Sun) at the Palazzo Theater in Las Vegas, SCORSESE: American Crime Requiem at The Wallis in Beverly Hills, which was nominated for 11 Ovation Awards and won the BroadwayWorld Award for Best Musical in Los Angeles and The Brat Pack, the “overwhelmingly popular” show on the Norwegian Escape, voted one of the “best stage shows at sea.” FTR has also set a new standard for concert celebrations, including Night Divine at The Apollo Theater starring Shoshana Bean and Cynthia Erivo.
FTR shows defy easy categorization. They have become the premier theater company for reimagining popular culture - movies, albums, and entire catalogs - as theatrical worlds, immersed in rock ‘n’ roll with a story to tell.
