Wicked's Eden Espinosa offers From Eden With Love, an evening of personal songs, at Feinstein's at the Regency on Nov. 8.
The concert is described as "a heartfelt response to the many song requests from fans, family and friends, [which] is an intimate and personal tribute to each of them." Espinosa will offer shows at 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM.
Music director Joseph Abate collaborated with Espinosa on the evening of song that includes "I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten," "#1 Crush," "The Girl you Lost to Cocaine," "Mama," "A Case of You," "Both Sides Now" and "I'm Gonna Be Strong." Abate provides the arrangements and orchestrations that are performed by a nine-piece band.
Eden Espinosa made her Broadway debut covering the roles of Elphaba and Nessarose in Stephen Schwartz's Wicked. She eventually assumed the role of Elphaba on Broadway and opened the sit-down production of Wicked in Los Angeles. Espinosa also played the role of Brooklyn — a part she created at the Denver Civic Theatre — in the musical of the same name at the Schoenfeld Theatre. She played Maureen in the final cast of Broadway's Rent and was also seen in the Reprise staging of Flora, the Red Menace.
Feinstein's at Loews Regency is located at 540 Park Avenue at 61st Street.
