Singer pays tribute to Roberta Flack in Bucks County debut

Posted

Singer and actor Natalie Douglas will make her Bucks County Playhouse debut as part of recently announced Broadway Spotlight Concert Series.

Titled, “The First Time…The Music of Roberta Flack,” this is the first in the series of seven intimate concerts. Performances will be held at Bucks County Playhouse at 8 p.m. Saturday, May 15 and 2 p.m. Sunday, May 16.

The 12-time MAC, two-time Bistro and NYC Nightlife Award winner, Douglas and her music director, Mark Hartman, celebrate the hallmarks of Roberta Flack’s career — “her luminous voice, and peerless musical virtuosity, leading to chart-topping song after song, and garnering millions of sales along with well-deserved awards and accolades.”

Douglas performs songs associated with the legendary singer, including “Making Love,” “Compared to What?,” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song.”
“Roberta Flack sang and played with such artistry and integrity, but even more importantly, such joy! As we slowly come out of these unusual pandemic times, I can think of no better evening than to share Flack’s music with the Bucks County Playhouse audience,” said Douglas.

Bucks County Playhouse has developed rigorous coronavirus safety protocols, which can be found on the Playhouse website. For tickets and information, visit BucksCountyPlayhouse.org or call 215-862-2121.
