Since then, she’s danced through the 70‘s (Saturday Night Fever), sung with the nicest kids in town (Hairspray), laughed it up with Martin Short (Fame Becomes Me), & defied gravity as one of Wicked’s most beloved Elphaba’s. In 2017 she received a 2017 LA Ovation Awards nomination for Best Actress in a Musical as Mary Flynn in Michael Arden's "Merrily We Roll Along" opposite Wayne Brady. Join us for an unforgettable evening as Donna offers memorable song selections and stories from her career so far. Joining Donna on stage will be Grand Forks pianist, Keith Teepen.
