Quality Hill Playhouse concludes it’s new One-on-One with the Performers series with an intimate performance featuring delightful actress and soprano Lindsey McKee. Ms. McKee is fresh from her star turn in Souvenir at the Playhouse, a performance that earned her rave reviews from audiences and critics alike. Robert Trussell of The Kansas City Star said she was “hilarious” with a performance that “hits the right notes.” One-on-One will give audiences an opportunity to hear Ms. McKee’s true singing ability (“an exceptionally skilled singer” according to Russ Simmons of The Sun Newspapers), unlike the off-key Florence Foster Jenkins character she portrayed in Souvenir.

She will sing some of her all time favorites – from Puccini to Sondheim and everything in between. A native of Great Britain, Ms. McKee is looking forward to sharing her Royal Wedding stories (she shared a pint of ale with Prince Charles after his wedding rehearsal!) and dishing on royalty. In addition, she and Executive Director J. Kent Barnhart will reminisce their 20-year friendship, both on and off the stage. Barnhart serves as emcee for the special event featuring a talk-show style format with questions from the audience and, of course, lots of great singing.

Get to know the "person behind the personality” in this special engagement. There are only three performances, so seating is limited. Go to the Quality Hill Playhouse web site for more information.
