Christine Andreas seduces her audience with an honesty, integrity, self-deprecating wit and scent of sexuality that would make anyone gladly fly to the moon with her. She can swing from sensual soprano to killer queen in a heartbeat, from the White House to the Great White Way.
Ms. Andreas first captured the hearts of Broadway theatregoers as Eliza Doolittle in the 20th anniversary production of My Fair Lady, for which she won the Theatre World Award. She went on to star in Oklahoma and On Your Toes (receiving Tony nominations for each), The Scarlet Pimpernel and, just last season, La Cage Aux Folles. She received rave reviews in the national tour of The Light in the Piazza. Her appearances in New York’s finest rooms (Café Carlyle, The Algonquin’s Oak Room), in stage productions, cabaret and with symphony orchestras continue to win Ms. Andreas critical acclaim both nationally and internationally. NY Times, “She delicately kills with the sheer beauty of her voice.” www.ChristineAndreas.com
