#PerformersSingForFans – Part 2
Sandi Durell’s TheaterPizzazz.com continues to contact Broadway and Cabaret performers to help lift spirits for fans and everyone during Covid-19. And they have – by making a video singing a favorite song (some are a cappella, others are to a track). But the important thing is that they’re singing and sharing what they do best. Nothing like music for a great pick me up!
Karen Mason “Up On The Roof”
An extraordinary presence on any stage as an actor-singer…Broadway, Off Broadway and in cabaret. She’s a 13-time MAC Award Winner and received the 2019 MAC Lifetime Achievement Award.
