She returns to New York City to play Brooklyn's Kings Theatre on Thursday, November 1, and plays Boston's Emerson Colonial Theatre on Saturday, November 3. In the show, Headley presents an evening of beloved Broadway songs, as well as several personal selections, arranged specifically for her.

She earned an Olivier Award nomination for her West End stage debut in The Bodyguard and returned to Broadway most recently in the Tony-winning revival of The Color Purple. Headley is also a Grammy-winning recording artist for her R&B/gospel record Audience of One.
