FAITH PRINCE with SETH RUDETSKY
Faith Prince, Tony Award winner for Guys and Dolls, will make debut for Mark Cortales Broadway @ NOCCA concert series on September 22 at 8:00 PM, as a benefit for the The NOCCA Institute. She will be joined on stage by series host & pianist Seth Rudetsky, who starred last season in the 5-star London premiere of his Broadway musical Disaster!

This is a spontaneous evening of hilarity and show-stopping songs not to be missed. The special concert event is sponsored by the New Orleans Hotel Collection. All proceeds from the concert will benefit The NOCCA Institute.
