GO→Four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald (set to appear in the Broadway revival of Porgy & Bess next month) will make a stop at New York City’s Carnegie Hall as a part of her 17-city solo concert tour. McDonald will be backed by a Broadway-sized orchestra and promises a “trademark mix of show tunes, classic songs from movies, and pieces written expressly for [McDonald] by leading contemporary composers.” I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a little taste of McDonald’s Bess to cap-off what is sure to be a great evening of music. (8 PM, Carnegie Hall, 881 7^th Ave., at 57^th St., $37-$108, info/tickets)
