Talk about Broadway allure.

Six-time Tony Award-winner Audra McDonald will perform in a one-night-only concert as part of Steppenwolf Theatre’s Lookout Series at 6:30 p.m. on May 22, accompanied by special guests Will Swenson (her husband, also a Broadway star), and pianist Seth Rudetsky.

The concert, produced by Mark Cortale on the theater’s Downstairs stage, is being billed as “a seamless mix of intimate behind-the-scenes stories from one of Broadway’s biggest stars—prompted by Rudetsky’s probing, funny, revealing questions—with McDonald singing some of the biggest hits from her musical theater repertoire.”

Tickets (and this will be a high-demand performance) are $79-$150; $15 student rush tickets will be on sale an hour before the show, pending availability. ASL Interpretation and Open Captioning will be available for this performance.

Tickets will go on sale at 11 a.m. March 10. A pre-sale for current Steppenwolf members and subscribers begins March 7. Call (312) 335-1650 or visit steppenwolf.org.

The LookOut Series is Steppenwolf’s multi-genre performance series presenting work from a diverse array of established and emerging artists. Tickets for March and April events are currently on sale.
