The irrepressible star of Hello, Dolly! will offer a glimpse of her upcoming one-woman show — An Evening with Carol Channing — during her appearances Aug. 8 and 9 at the Hollywood Bowl. The Bowl evenings, entitled "The Great American Concert," will feature Channing as well as the symphonic debut of Michael Bublé, an interpreter of the American Songbook. Both will be accompanied by the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra under the direction of John Mauceri. Channing's appearance marks her return to the stage after a four-year hiatus. During this time, the award-winning actress released her acclaimed autobiography "Just Lucky, I Guess: A Memoir of Sorts." She was also reunited with her junior high school sweetheart, businessman Harry Kullijian, whom she recently married. A true superstar of the American musical theatre, Channing received a Tony for her performance in Hello, Dolly!; she was also nominated for an Academy Award for her work in "Thoroughly Modern Millie."
The Hollywood Bowl is located at 2301 Highland Avenue in Hollywood, CA. Tickets for the “Great American Concert” are available by calling (323) 850-2000. Go to www.hollywoodbowl.org for more information.
