Broadway Review Supports Community Theatre on February 2

Franklin---Singer/songwriter sensation Nicole Witt is headlining a “Broadway Comes to Franklin” community theatre Patrons Party on Friday, February 2 at the Bravo Creative Arts Center at 2227 Hillsboro Road in Franklin’s Grassland Area.

The star-studded Broadway Review will support the Bethlehem Players upcoming March production of “The Music Man” at Bethlehem United Methodist Church. The Players are a non-profit community outreach program of BUMC.

The February 2 program includes Witt and beloved theatre veterans Billy Ditty and Jeff Pettit as well as singers Maggie McNulty and Grassland Middle School choral director Will Lambert.

Witt’s, whose songs have been published by EMI Music and Curb Publishing, most recent hot song was a country radio favorite by Terri Clark (Universal/Mercury) “She Didn’t Have Time.” Her songs have also been recorded by Diamond Rio “The Box” and “Power of A Song” was recorded by Diamond Rio (with Amy Grant and Vince Gill). The Kinleys recorded “Love Train” and country newcomers Rodney Atkins, Amber Dotson, Richie Jones, Lauren Lucas and Jamie Lee Thurston all have Nicole Witt signature cuts.
