'Wishful Thinking' Cabaret - 14 August 2011

If you didn't get a chance to see it, you missed one fantastic show! iconiQuartet presented Wishful Thinking ~ a musical cabaret & charity event benefitting The American Red Cross at TADA! Youth Theater, Sunday, August 14. We contacted favorite musical theatre singers Tracie Franklin (Hairspray Natl. Tour, Ain't Misbehavin'), Trey Mitchell (Wonderful Town Natl. Tour), Andrew Overcash, Chelsea Picken, and Katherine Wright to perform broadway and pop hits about living for our dreams. Our 4-piece ensemble was expanded to a 20-piece "iconiQuestra" chamber orchestra with woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano, and strings. We raised over $200.00 and had an audience of 50 guests; its was a great success for our first endeavor. We'd like to thank all the singers, musicians, and guests who helped make WT a great event and start of a New York Tradition!

P.S. If you'd like to have a chamber ensemble for your event, just contact us!
