Tony and Grammy Award Winner Debbie Gravitte Brings Big Band Broadway to Adelphi PAC
Garden City, NY (10/29/2024) — Tony and Grammy award winner Debbie Gravitte is set to dazzle audiences once again with her sensational performance at Adelphi University's Performing Arts Center (PAC). On Saturday, November 16 at 8 p.m. Adelphi PAC's Concert Hall will come alive with the vibrant sounds of Broadway, given a big band twist by the incomparable Gravitte.
Known for her sassy style and powerful vocals, Gravitte is ready to take the stage and deliver an unforgettable evening of song and fun. With her blaring brass and swinging orchestrations, she will transport the audience into a world where classic Broadway tunes are reimagined with a unique twist.
Critics have raved about Gravitte's talent, with Rex Reed declaring, "We're talking mega-talented here. She can belt the bloomers off a brassy show tune with enough socko force to knock Merman out of the balcony, or wail blues and torch songs with enough passion to grow icicles on your spine."
Broadway World also praises her, stating, "Debbie Gravitte singing live is the gold standard to which every person who steps up onto a nightclub stage should be held, and it is the very least to which any actor on a stage should aspire."
The Poole Family Broadway Series at the Adelphi PAC is generously sponsored by Mary Jane and Thomas Poole.
Tickets start at $50, with discounts available to seniors, students, Adelphi alumni and employees. For more information call the Lucia and Steven N.
