Tony Award-winning and multi-Grammy Award-nominated performer Heather Headley will star in the Goodman Theatre’s gala fundraiser, to be held at The Fairmont Hotel (200 N Columbus Drive), on May 22.
The black-tie event begins with a 6:30pm cocktail reception, followed by Headley’s 7:30pm performance. The festivities continue with dinner and dancing to the tunes of the Ken Arlen Orchestra. Goodman Theatre’s Women’s Board will host the event, with proceeds benefiting the Goodman’s Educational and Community Engagement programs.
Headley won her Tony Award for her performance in Aida, and originated the role of Nala in Broadway’s The Lion King. She received a Grammy Award nomination as Best New Artist for her debut album This Is Who I Am and a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “I Wish I Wasn’t.” Her newest album, Audience of One, has just received two Grammy nominations including Best Gospel Performance and Best Contemporary R&B Gospel Album.
