The music, the words, the magic.
Join us for an intimate evening celebrating the brilliance, wit, and heart of Stephen Sondheim. Mezzo-soprano Rita Andriello-Feren, joined at the piano by Hank Curtis—one of Kaua‘i’s most beloved musical artists—will take you on a journey through Sondheim’s incomparable songbook.
From the haunting beauty of Follies and the rarely heard gems of Anyone Can Whistle to the wisdom and wonder of Into the Woods—complete with a few surprises and special duets along the way. Every song a story. Every story a song.
Many on Kaua‘i know Rita as author, speaker, and Co-Founding Spiritual Director of Center for Spiritual Living Kaua‘i. On this evening, she steps out from behind those roles to embrace her theater and vocal roots—and a lifetime on the stage.
Rita holds a Master’s in Theater and Directing and studied voice for more than a decade with Metropolitan Opera star Maralin Niska. She has performed lead roles in dozens of musicals—including Maria in West Side Story, Aldonza in Man of La Mancha, Guenevere in Camelot, and Miss Mona in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas—and has sung cabaret across the years with her husband, Patrick Feren.
