Broadway star Audra McDonald had a chat with Robert Nesti of EDGEBoston.com in advance of her sold-out appearance at Sanders Theatre in Cambridge this Saturday. She talked about her program of songs that "scare" her:
"EDGE spoke to McDonald one a recent afternoon while she was in traffic -- literally bumper-to-bumper rush hour traffic as she crossed the Brooklyn Bridge (with composer Ricky Ian Gordon in the passenger seat) on her way to an event in the city. The subject was her upcoming concert and its unusual theme: songs that she’s scared of.
"Yes," she said laughing. "I’ll be singing some of the songs that I’m scared of, just like I did at Carnegie Hall. The concert won’t quite be the same. I won’t have a big orchestra, but a jazz combo; but a good deal of the material will be the same. And they’ll be those songs that frighten me for any number of reasons."
