Many of you who enjoyed Broadway singer and actress Rebecca Robbins last year as she shared an intimate evening of songs and stories about her adventures while on tour with The Phantom of the Opera 25th Anniversary North American Tour will not want to miss this year’s appearance. Since last year’s fundraiser, Rebecca appeared as Grace Farrell in 75 performances of Annie at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia and followed that by starring as Florence Foster Jenkins in Souvenir, A Fantasia on the Life of Florence Foster Jenkins. This spring she played the role of Corine in the musical farce “Triumph of Love”. When not on stage, Rebecca enjoys splitting her time between her home in Philadelphia and right here in the Lakes Region.
