The Tony Award-winning star of A Chorus Line, Ms. McKechnie is regarded as one of Broadway’s foremost dancing and singing stars. In his review of her spring 2005 New York engagement, Stephen Holden of The New York Times equaled Donna with legends Chita Rivera and Gwen Verdon. Her previous cabaret show, “My Musical Comedy Live,” received unanimous raves from New York theatre critics and won The Backstage Bistro Award for Outstanding Major Engagement.
In addition to A Chorus Line, some of Ms. McKechnie’s Broadway credits include: “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying,” A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” (national tour), “The Education of Hyman Kaplan,” “Sondheim-A Musical Tribute” (which she also choreographed), “On the Town,” “Promises, Promises,” “Company,” and “State Fair,” for which she received the Fred Astaire Award for Best Female Dancer.
Fort Worth native Eugene Gwozdz will serve as Ms. McKechnie’s Music Director and pianist.
