World-renowned star of stage and TV Barbara Brighton brings her acclaimed “To Broadway With Love” Holiday Show to Sedona when she performs live, onstage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre. There will be three performances Dec. 4-6, presented by the Sedona International Film Festival.

Barbara Brighton is an accomplished actress as well as a singer-comedienne. Her television stints include “General Hospital”, MTV’S “Hard Times of RJ Berger”, “The Next Best Thing”, “Hart to Hart”, “Archie Bunker’s Place” AND “Superior Court”, as well as a number of comedy pilots for the television networks.

In Los Angeles, she produced and hosted her own television talk show, “The Barbara Brighton Show”, for three years on cable. The show was an insightful look at celebrities, attorneys, psychologists, journalists, and political figures.

She has been called “Florida’s answer to Joan Rivers before surgery” and has re-invented herself as one of the top stand-up comediennes to emerge on the current scene. She’s been traveling all over the country as a top tribute artist and look-a-like to the one and only Joan Rivers for many corporate functions and cruises.

Brighton grew up in Boston where she studied ballet, jazz dancing and piano. She later went on to major in music at the University of Florida. Blessed with a wonderful voice, it wasn’t long before she started her very successful singing career. Her singing, along with her acting abilities, took her to Broadway, where she appeared in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”, “Camelot”, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown”, “Milk and Honey”, and recently, a tour of “Sugar” (“Some Like It Hot”).
 
Currently Brighton resides in Las Vegas, where she recently appeared at Caesar's Palace, The Desert Inn, Sam's Town, The Suncoast, along with many others.  Her talents have also brought her to the stage of several cruise lines and enjoying performance tours of Australia, Japan, South America and Indonesia.

Brighton’s show for Sedona will feature Barbara performing songs from several top Broadway musicals including “A Chorus Line”, “Sunset Boulevard”, “Hello Dolly” and “Chicago” along with a mini-tribute to Barbra Streisand, as well as some comedy segments of Joan Rivers.  In addition, she will add a few favorite Christmas songs to put us all in the Holiday spirit.
