Tony Award winner Jennifer Holliday will perform as part of Miracle House’s 19th Annual Memorial Day Summer Kickoff Benefit, to take place at the Bridgehampton Tennis & Surf Club in Bridgehampton, Long Island, beginning at 5pm on Saturday, May 23.

The benefit will be hosted by Bethanny Frankel, from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New York City, and will honor Miracle House’s late founder Nan Sweetser.

Holliday won the Tony for the original Broadway production of Dreamgirls, in which she played Effie White. A Grammy Award-winning recording artist, her hit songs have included “Hard Times for Lovers,” “I’m on Your Side,” and “A Woman’s Got the Power.” She also appeared on the TV series Ally McBeal and performs with numerous symphonies and choral groups around the country.
