Worcester, MA (Top40 Charts/ The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts) JACKIE EVANCHO , prodigy and finalist from NBC's "America's Got Talent" will mesmerize audiences at The Hanover Theatre for the Performing Arts in Worcester for one night only on Friday, October 11 at 7:30pm. Tickets are on sale now.
The young soprano from Pittsburgh with the stunning voice won runner-up during "America's Got Talent" by dazzling the judges and millions of viewers with her beautiful, soprano voice. Evancho launched her soon-to-be legendary career, signing with Columbia Records shortly thereafter.
In a little over two years, Jackie's unique, gorgeous, soprano voice has attracted millions of fans and her recordings have dominated the music and DVD charts. Now 13, Jackie has garnered the support of legendary music producers like
David Foster and filmmakers such as Robert Redford. Billboard Magazine named Jackie to their list of music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21 in 2011 and again in 2012 because the soprano's "spellbinding, operatic vocals possess a power and poignancy that often moves listeners multiple times her age to tears."
Jackie's debut EP, "O Holy Night," was released in November 2010 and became the year's number one bestselling debut recording with sales exceeding one million copies and earning her a platinum certification. In June 2011, Jackie released her first studio album, "Dream With Me." A mix of operatic arias, show tunes and pop standards, it debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at number two and was certified Gold after only four weeks of release.
Her U.S. shows are also sell-outs and have been taped for broadcast on PBS for the Great Performances series. Jackie's first PBS special was one of the top pledge producing performances in PBS' history. When PBS aired "Dream With Me In Concert" during the latter half of 2011, it instantly became one of their most broadcast programs of the year and was used extensively during pledge drives.
Tickets to JACKIE EVANCHO are $47.50, $57.50, $67.50 and $77.50*, with a 10% discount available for members, groups of 10 or more, corporate partners, kids, students, and WOO Card holders.
