Summary:
Maureen Barnett (3 time Tony nominee Kelli O’Hara) was once a singer renowned the world over. Now though, issues couldn’t get very much worse. She’s stuck executing in dives, her daughter hates her, and she’s dealing with a severe anxious breakdown that leaves her petrified before large crowds. Leads couldn’t look bleaker, when in walks Amelia Surprise (Academy Award winner Shirley Jones), an aging chanteuse, supplying Maureen the capability to see into the future. Maureen reluctantly allows and finds herself haunted by visions of something dreadful happening to her girl Holly, who is shortly abducted and kept for ransom.
Enlisting the aid of a freshly retired policeman turned private eye named Henry Powell (Emmy winner Ed Asner), Maureen goes on a dangerous journey to get her daughter – and her confidence – back again no matter what.
From its atmospheric opening to its shocking conclusion, RRCA’s Songbird is a sharp comic mystery filled up with laughs, romance, two-fisted action, and winning performances from Shirley Jones, Ed Asner and Kelli O’Hara.
