Overview
The Abby Mueller Trio starring Abby Mueller, Andrew Mueller, and Sharon Kenny
The year: 1971. The place: Los Angeles’ A+M Records. An up-and-coming singer-songwriter is hard at work on her second studio album. She is visited by her friend and collaborator, who wants to introduce his new girlfriend, recording in the studio next door. The singer-songwriter? Carole King. The album? The genre-defining, 14x Platinum-selling masterpiece Tapestry. Her friend? James Taylor, fresh off his hit Sweet Baby James. And the girlfriend recording next door? Joni Mitchell, herself hard at work on her acclaimed classic, Blue. The music they each created would become the soundtrack of a generation. Join Broadway’s Abby Mueller and award-winning special guests Sharon Kenny and Andrew Mueller for an evening celebrating the iconic hits and stories of these musical legends and real-life friends.
Abby Mueller garnered a Drama Desk Award and Grammy nomination for originating the role of Jane Seymour in the Tony Award-winning smash hit Six: The Musical on Broadway. She can be heard on the landmark Original Broadway Cast Recording Six: Live on Opening Night. After originating the role of Carole for the First National Tour of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Abby was brought back twice to reprise her critically acclaimed performance on Broadway. Other credits include Kinky Boots on Broadway and extensive regional roles. TV appearances include Evil, America’s Got Talent, The Today Show, The View, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon.
