The Eldred Preserve is thrilled to welcome Broadway icon Andrea McArdle to its acclaimed Bradstan Cabaret Series on Sunday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m.
Beloved as the original star of “Annie” on Broadway, McArdle captured the hearts of a generation and made history as the youngest performer ever nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical. This fall, she brings her acclaimed show, “Confessions of a Broadway Baby,” to the intimate Bradstan stage for one unforgettable night.
Renowned for her powerhouse voice and magnetic stage presence, McArdle will lead audiences on a captivating journey through her extraordinary career. The evening will feature showstoppers from Broadway and Hollywood greats—including Stephen Sondheim, Kander and Ebb, and Charles Strouse—woven together with candid, often humorous stories about the legendary figures she has worked alongside, from Barbra Streisand to Angela Lansbury.
“Andrea is a true Broadway legend, and we are honored to have her join us for our Bradstan Cabaret Series,” said Scott Samuelson, chief operating officer at The Eldred Preserve. “Her remarkable talent, personal stories, and place in Broadway history promise an unforgettable evening for our guests.”
McArdle’s illustrious career includes starring roles in “Starlight Express,” “Les Misérables,” and “Beauty and the Beast” on Broadway. She has headlined national tours of “Cabaret,” “Jerry’s Girls,” and “They’re Playing Our Song,” and performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, from Carnegie Hall to the Metropolitan Opera House.
The 2025 Bradstan Cabaret Series continues its tradition of bringing world-class talent to the heart of Sullivan County, with genres spanning classic cabaret, musical theater, and comedy. The series will conclude following McArdle’s performance with Patti Greco Sunshine on Sunday, Oct. 14 at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the Bradstan Cabaret Series are available at theeldredpreserve.com/cabaret. Doors open at 6 p.m., with cocktails and light fare available. Guests can also enjoy dinner at The Homestead Restaurant + Lounge in advance of the show and receive 15% off their meal.
