Christine Ebersole — who will star as the ghostly Elvira in the forthcoming Broadway revival of Blithe Spirit — will play concert engagements in Texas, Florida and California in January 2009.

According to Ebersole's official website, the two-time Tony Award winner will join another two-time Tony winner, James Naughton, for a Jan. 9, 2009, concert at The Grand 1894 Opera House in Galveston, TX. On Jan. 12 and 13, 2009, Ebersole and her 42nd Street co-star, Billy Stritch, will perform at the Crest Theatre in Delray Beach, FL; and Jan. 18 will find Ebersole and Stritch playing the Marines Memorial Club in San Francisco, CA. The latter is part of the Bay Area Cabaret Season.

She also received a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Musical for her work as Dorothy Brock in the hit revival of 42nd Street and a 2003 Tony nomination for her performance in Lincoln Center's production of Dinner at Eight. Ebersole's other Broadway credits include The Best Man, Getting Away with Murder, Harrigan 'n Hart, Camelot, Oklahoma!, On the Twentieth Century, I Love My Wife, Angel Street and the City Center Encores! productions of A Connecticut Yankee, Ziegfeld Follies of 1936, Lady in the Dark and Allegro.
