Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present welcome Lucie Arnaz to its 30th Anniversary celebration on Saturday, March 2 when she performs her one-woman cabaret show “I Got the Job! Songs from My Musical Past” at the Sedona Performing Arts Center. Showtime is 7 p.m.
Lucie Arnaz began her long show business career in a recurring role on The Lucy Show opposite her mother, Lucille Ball. She starred in her own television series (The Lucie Arnaz Show), co-starred in the 1980 film “The Jazz Singer” and appeared in several made-for-television movies. Her Broadway credits include They’re Playing Our Song, Lost in Yonkers and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and among her numerous accolades are a Golden Globe nomination, a Theatre World Award, and Chicago’s famed Sarah Siddons Award.
“I Got the Job! Songs from My Musical Past” — by musical director Ron Abel — celebrates a life on stage. Arnaz offers anecdotes and fond memories about her costars, directors, and musical collaborators in between iconic songs and hidden treasures from some of Broadway’s greatest shows and a look at the backstage magic it takes to create them.
