Vanessa Williams, Pacific Symphony at Renée And Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall

About

Superstar actress-singer Vanessa Williams takes the stage with Pacific Symphony in an opening night celebration. After rising to fame in the '80s on the strength of tracks like "The Right Stuff" and "Dreamin'," Williams made the leap to acting, with head-turning roles in films such as "Soul Food" and an Emmy-nominated turn in ABC's "Ugly Betty", and on Broadway with a Tony-nominated performance in "Into the Woods". Along the way, the hits kept coming, as Williams has lent her powerful pipes to pop gems like "Running Back to You" and the unforgettable slow-dance staple "Save the Best for Last." The orchestra opens this concert at Orange County's Segerstrom Center with "That's Entertainment" and themes from popular films.
