Broadway Star Jeri Sager: A Veri Jeri Christmas December 16, 2012

Broadway star of Cats, Fiddler on the Roof, Les Miserables and Evita, Jeri Sager brings her trademark powerhouse voice to Pleasanton. The celebrated Holiday show 'A Veri Jeri Christmas' is coming for one matinee only. Sager's concert is billed as full of warmth, humor, and holiday joy for the entire family, while promising to "pull a few Broadway showstoppers out of the stocking, too!" according to Steven Shore of the show's producer Esses Productions.

Best known for her portrayal of "Grizabella" in Andrew Lloyd Webber's Tony Award winning musical 'Cats', Sager made her Broadway debut in the 25th Anniversary production of another Tony Award winning classic, 'Fiddler On The Roof', and went on to enjoy critical acclaim in other memorable roles including "Fantine" in 'Les Miserables' and "Eva Peron" in 'Evita'.

Having performed in venues from the Grand Ole Opry and Broadway main stages to the White House, Sager has played opposite such stellar leading mean as Bob Hope, Gregory Peck, and Michael Crawford. Through her work with the USO she has performed for both American and British troops, and has had the honor of performing for dignitaries including Presidents Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush, as well as for Pope John Paul II.

Among numerous TV and film roles, Jeri recently starred opposite Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw in the Oscar-nominated movie 'Country Strong'. Other major theatrical productions audiences will remember Sager for include City of Angels, Pippin, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat, and West Side Story to name a few.

Tony and Oscar Award-winning director Jerome Robbins says of Jeri Sager, " Wonderful, just wonderful!" With such a resume, Jeri Sager's 'A Veri Jeri Christmas' should be a "don't miss it" show this holiday season.
