Kerry Butler : 'Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust' - Part of the Glick Philanthropies Broadway at The Cabaret Series

Kerry boldly reimagines Disney classics like “Bare Necessities” and “When You Wish Upon a Star” in ways that will make you feel like you are hearing them for the very first time. She will also introduce you to the Disney-hits-that-could-have-been by singing “Call Me a Princess” and “This Only Happens in the Movies,” two songs written by Alan Menken that were cut from Aladdin and Roger Rabbit respectively, and generously provided by the author to Kerry when she was recording her album. Her barn-raising take on Minnie’s “Yoo hoo,” the only song written by Walt himself, will have you grinning from ear to ear, while her delicate interpretation of “Baby of Mine” may have you reaching for a Kleenex.

Kerry has had an amazing run of Broadway smash hits as the original Penny in Hairspray, Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, her Tony-Nominated turn in Xanadu, and originating starring roles in Catch Me if You Can, Mean Girls, and Beetlejuice. But to paraphrase Walt Disney, Kerry has never forgotten that it all started with a princess. Yes, Kerry’s first star turn on Broadway was as Belle in Beauty in the Beast.

For Kerry, since she was a little girl, the wonder of Disney has never faded, and at the times of her life when she needed it most, she would take a trip to Disney to find hope. With Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust, Kerry will sprinkle a heaping helping of that magical stuff on audiences that will make them laugh, cry, and fill them with joy and wonder again.
