For three successive years, singer Miranda Russell has performed tribute musical programs at the Gloucester Stage Co. celebrating George and Ira Gershwin, Paul Simon, and Carole King. Next month, she returns with an anticipated show, “Carousel of Time,” a program celebrating the music of Joni Mitchell.
The three-day show will run Friday, March 28 through March 30, with all performances are at the GSC Theater on East Main Street in Gloucester.
Russell is considered to be a moving vocalist and nuance performer, and her concerts center on interpretations of the music of the great songwriters of our day.
She has acted and sung on stages from Cambridge to Brussels. Early shows include: soloist and chorus dancer in Boston's Christmas Revels with Jean Ritchie (at Sanders Theater), The Serpent at Emerson Stage; David Mamet's The Frog Prince, at Theatre in the Open and Legend of the Christmas Rose by Wendy Lement, at the Firehouse Center, both in Newburyport.
But it’s her return to the New England area that built her reputation on Cape Ann, marked by three consecutive seasons at Gloucester Stage Company. At GSC she delighted audiences in Still Crazy: A Tribute to the Music of Paul Simon, Tapestry: A Celebration of the Music of Carole King, and Fascinating Rhythm, George and Ira Gershwin.
Today's live shows all steal a little from every facet of the living and learning that a performer undergoes during the process of becoming just that: a performer. Miranda's obvious love of the stage is infectious when she is on it and never fails to leave the audience asking for more.
Performing from March 28th to the 30th, all performances are at Gloucester Stage’s Theater 267 East Main Street, Gloucester. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets may be purchased online or by calling (978) 281-4433.
