 Congratulations to our very own LOUISE PITRE on

for Canada's first lady of musical theatre, who's career that
spans theatre, television and concert stages across North America
and Europe.
In addition to headlining the Toronto, Broadway and US touring
company casts of Mamma
Mia! Louise is known for her signature performances as
Fantine in Les Mis�rables (Toronto, Montreal and Paris) and the
title character in Edith Piaf. She also earned raves for leading
roles in Annie Get Your Gun, Song
& Dance, Jacques Brel Is Alive And Well And Living In Paris; I
Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change; The World Goes 'Round; Blood
Brothers; Tartuffe; Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?; The Roar of the
Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd; Applause; Rock 'n' Roll
etc.; and The Toxic
Avenger.
In September, 2009, Louise made her Carnegie Hall debut singing the
role of Ulrika in the concert version of the musical Kristinaby ABBA's Benny
Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. She recently reprised this role when
Kristina was performed at London's Royal Albert Hall in April,
2010.
Spot-On Entertainment is delighted
to offer Louise Pitre in concert this year in the US after such a
successful tour last season!

THE
SEDAKA SHOW
|
 Spot-On Entertainment welcomes THE SEDAKA SHOW to our roster.
Conceived and directed by Tony Award� nominee Brian Lane Green, the
show stars JIM VAN SLYKE in
a one-man tour-de-force tribute to Neil Sedaka. After reading
about the show, Mr. Sedaka went to see a performance last year and
just flipped over the brilliance of Jim's interpretation and the
wonderful evening of entertainment he enjoyed. He immediately
called Michael Feinstein to get Jim a booking at Feinstein's at the
Regency and the rest, as they say, is history.
Last week Regis Philbin caught a performance at Feinstein's and had
this to say the next morning on "Live With Regis &
Kelley":
"The most remarkable
hour and a half of entertainment I have ever seen! I predict that
Jim Van Slyke will be a very big star! It was a great night and
this kid is going to go far."
