Sara Jean Ford: An Evening with the Aging Ingénue!

THE BLACK BOX Broadway Series presents Sara Jean Ford: An Evening with the Aging Ingénue! Join Broadway’s Sara Jean Ford for a night of music and comedy celebrating one of musical theater’s most quintessential heroines, the ingénue. Saturday, September 14 at 7:30 PM

Part concert, part theater piece, part existential crisis – An Evening with the Aging Ingénue is a musical comedy concert, once described by Playbill as “a raucously funny evening of music and storytelling.” Featuring songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Minchin, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Charles Strouse, and Stephen Schwartz – An Evening with the Aging Ingénue is jam-packed with a wide range of young, hopeful (and often tragically naive) songs from Broadway and beyond. These saccharine sweet songs are then transformed by Ford and performed with the emotional depth and gravitas that can only be gained from what 40+ years in this business will sear into your soul. Based on her hit BroadwayWorld web series “The Aging Ingénue,” An Evening with the AgingIngénue is hosted by Sara’s fictional alter-ego Claire Cooke — a Broadway starlette all grown up — as she struggles to navigate her new reality as an aging actor & mother – all while singing songs that she is far too old to sing (and sharing secrets that she is far too comfortable revealing).
