Valjean, Cosette & a String Quartet

Join Tony Award Nominee Josh Young and his wife, Broadway Star Emily Padgett, as they celebrate the decade that gave us Les Miserables, Phantom of The Opera, and Cats – the decade where Stephen Sondheim and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber reached the pinnacle of their creative mastery: the 1980’s.

The lush music of the decade is presented with the beauty and majesty that only strings can produce accompanied by the sweet percussive harmonics of a piano and signature, award-winning vocals.

Reviews

Josh and Emily (who would excel at singing any song from any musical in any decade) just seem to have a knack for this material, an innate sense of understanding of how to get into these songs, how to, instantaneously, turn on the characters from whence cometh the journey, and how to deliver the whole story in each three to four minute composition, and they both do it with voices that, at times, make a person shake their head in wonder.

Padgett and Young are two world-class singers with unbelievable vocal instruments and more: they can act, too. You don't really appreciate the effort of a true singing actor until you really see it, before your very eyes, and get the sneaking notion that much of the time what we are looking at is people singing songs and sounding pretty

Ms. Padgett's versatility and vocal range is absolutely thrilling. But then, to hear the voice of Josh Young is to see the face of god. With these two exciting voices and impressive actors sharing the performance duties, the evening is the kind of entertainment that theater-hungry youths once trolled PBS looking for, hoping just to get some Broadway and culture in their lives.
