On Friday, November 1, Wortham Center for the Performing Arts presents Some Enchanted Evening<\/em>, a multidisciplinary performance blending the magic of musical theater with the rich sounds of jazz. The performance will be a collaboration among Emmy-nominated trumpeter and vocalist Benny Benack III, vocalist Stella Cole and award-winning tap-dancer Jabu Graybeal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope audiences have a new appreciation for Broadway and Jazz, two of America\u2019s greatest art forms, and they realize there are crazy talented young artists keeping these traditions alive and thriving,\u201d Bennack says. \u201cI want audiences to realize how interactive and fun jazz can be. The more audiences sing and clap along, the better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show will feature a mix of Broadway staples from musicals like Hamilton, The Sound of Music <\/em>and Guys & Dolls.<\/em> \u201cI hope everyone is able to soak in the nostalgia of these old Broadway classics, but I think they\u2019ll also be able to hear these songs in ways they\u2019ve never heard them before,\u201d says Cole. \u201cThis music never gets old; it\u2019s so cathartic for people and everyone still relates to it today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graybeal, a tap dancer from Pittsboro who will appear in the next season of America\u2019s Got Talent<\/em>, says the collaboration has deepened his understanding of and love for jazz and tap. \u201cThis performance seeks to challenge, inspire and engage,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s not just entertainment\u2014it\u2019s an invitation to look deeper, to question assumptions and to explore the complexities of the human experience through art.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Wortham Center for the Performing Arts is located at 18 Biltmore Avenue in downtown Asheville. To learn more and purchase tickets, visit WorthamArts.org<\/a> or call 828.257.4530.<\/em><\/p>\n
