BROADWAY

Franc D’Ambrosio’s Broadway has enjoyed a successful, two year, US concert tour -
playing to packed houses and standing ovations all along the way. He brings to his
audiences a celebration of the music that has nourished our hearts, sparked our imagination
and established Broadway as an American art form.

The staging for this show is simple: Just Franc, the grand piano, his accompanist and the stage awash in a mood setting blue light. He wears a black jacket and pants, a vivid blue shirt open at the throat. As soon as he opens his mouth, and sings the first note, the audience’s are transfixed. Franc has a powerful, tenor voice and it doesn’t matter if he is singing the up tempo medley of Fosse songs or the heart rending “Prayer” from Les Misarables, the crowds hang on every note.

The accompanying CD - Franc’s first solo CD - Franc D’Ambrosio’s Broadway
(LML Music) was released January 4, 2005. His extraordinary rendition of
“What Kind of Fool Am I” (a cut from the cd) was played during Brian Boitano’s
performance on The Today Show December 30, 2004.
