mostlyNEWmusicals: JEANNETTE in Concert at Feinstein's at Vitello's

Pop sensation and HAMILTON alum Ari Afsar will present a concert of music from JEANNETTE, a new musical based on the life of Americas first congresswoman Jeannette Rankin. Afsar will be joined by special guests Keala Settle (THE GREATEST SHOWMAN), YouTube sensations Sam Tsui and Casey Breves, Jonah Platt (WICKED), and Candace Quarrels (HAMILTON), plus Nina Kasuya and Rishikesh Menon, and backed by a four-piece band led by music director Adam Kaufman. JEANNETTE has music and lyrics by Afsar with a book by America's most-produced playwright, Lauren M. Gunderson.

An epic pop musical based on the true story of America's first congresswoman, JEANNETTE electrifies the life and history of suffrage activist Jeannette Rankin who was elected to Congress in 1916--three years before women were granted the right to vote.JEANNETTE heralds one person's radical voice in America's ongoing journey toward equal rights for all. Smart as a whip, with a Montanan's penchant for big dreams and a politician's penchant for getting what she wants, Congresswoman Rankin boldly paved the way for resistance through law and government. She was not only the first woman to win a place in American federal congress, but the first woman in the democratic Western world to be voted into national office.
