ELDRED — Tony Award nominee Andrea McArdle, who originated the title role in Broadway’s “Annie,” returns to The Eldred Preserve on Sunday, Oct. 11, to close out the 2026 Bradstan Cabaret Series with “Andrea McArdle’s Broadway Jukebox.” Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with showtime at 7 p.m.

In “Broadway Jukebox,” the evening unfolds without a set script. Audience members help select the songs and shape the stories, creating a spontaneous performance that is different every time. With powerhouse vocals, warmth, wit, and plenty of surprises, McArdle offers an up-close look at the music and moments that have shaped her remarkable career.

McArdle rose to stardom as Broadway’s original Annie, earning a Tony Award nomination for her performance. Her Broadway credits also include Jerry’s Girls, Starlight Express, State Fair, Les Misérables as Fantine, and Disney’s Beauty and the Beast as Belle. She has toured nationally in Cabaret and Les Misérables and appeared Off-Broadway and regionally in productions including Newsical, Mame, and Hello, Dolly!

A celebrated concert artist, McArdle has performed at Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Opera House, appeared with major symphonies and orchestras around the world, and headlined premier venues in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, and New York. Through her stories, she gives audiences a glimpse behind the scenes of a career spent alongside some of entertainment’s most iconic figures, including Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Carol Channing, and Tommy Tune.

“Andrea brings the kind of artistry and storytelling that makes live cabaret such a special experience,” said Scott Samuelson, chief operating officer of The Eldred Preserve. “We’re delighted to welcome her back to Bradstan and to have her close out another season of exceptional performers.”
