Clara a.k.a. Kelli O'Hara


The National NATS convention is about a month away, and I am excited about the featured performer: Kelli O'Hara. Originally Kristin Chenoweth had been the featured artist, but I suppose Glee and the Broadway production of Promises, Promises created a scheduling conflict. Kelli should be a good replacement. She has similar crossover appeal yet is a bit less known. The original Clara in The Light in the Piazza, she studied with the same voice teacher Kristin did, Florence Birdwell. What a great name! BTW, Kelli had a cruel cameo in Sex and the City 2, so I have to remind myself that she was just acting and didn't mean to demean Carrie Bradshaw.
