Ari Afsar sings Jeannette

With special guests Joshua Henry, Lexi Lawson and Jessica Vosk.

Pop sensation and Hamilton alum Ari Afsar will present a “live demo” concert of her new musical Jeannette on Monday, July 29 at 7.30pm. Afsar will be joined by special guests Joshua Henry (Hamilton, Carousel), Lexi Lawson (Hamilton, In The Heights) and Jessica Vosk (Wicked). An epic pop musical based on the true story of America’s first congresswoman, Jeannette electrifies the life and history of suffrage activist Jeannette Rankin who was elected to Congress in 1916—three years before women were granted the right to vote.
