Garner’s award-winning Broadway Voices returns for its 10th season with its biggest lineup ever.
The three-performance series at the Garner Performing Arts Center will feature six Broadway standouts, three remarkable musical directors and dozens of area high school students. A new addition this year is the PNC Arts Immersion Partnership, which gives public school students of all ages the opportunity to work with Broadway stars Jeff Kready and Nikki Renee Daniels.
“We are excited to include so many of our community students this year,” said Neal Padgett, the president of the Garner Chamber of Commerce. “The opportunity to bring this level talent to our community and to have them work with our students is remarkable. This will be a memory forever for some of them.”
Sandwiching the Feb. 15 show and Master Class by Kready and Daniels are a holiday show by Lady Luck on Nov. 15, 2019 and a solo show by Broadway and television star Bryce Pinkham on April 25.
Season tickets for all three shows are available for $75 for a limited time (ends October 1st)
The regular price is $85.

Garner Performing Arts Center
Lady Luck, a trio of Broadway veterans who electrified the GPAC last spring during a sold out performance, opens the season on Nov. 23, with a Christmas show.
Heidi Webster, Nicole Kaplan and Rachel Tyler’s holiday show is expected to include songs such as “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” “Silent Night,” “Santa Baby,” and other beloved Christmas songs, plus some Broadway favorites.
The spring concert was filled with laughs and a few tears. Webster, who is a music therapist, talked about working with a non-responsive Parkinson patient who broke into song when Webster began strumming “It Had To Be You” on her guitar. The Hospice patient and his wife shared an improbable moment.

Garner Performing Arts Center
Jeff Kready is thrilled to return to Garner and work with area students and talent.
Kready, who starred in Les Miserables, Billy Elliott and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, conducted a Master Class with Garner Magnet students last year and prepared them to share the stage with him at the GPAC.
He has invited the group to return to the stage with him and has added Daniels, his wife, to the concert and master class. They will conduct another Master Class at an area elementary school as part of the PNC immersion project.
Daniels currently is in the mega-hit Hamilton and is known for her show-stopping performance of “Summertime” in Broadway’s Porgy & Bess. She also performed in Les Miserables, Lestat, Anything Goes, Book of Mormon and six other Broadway shows.
Nikki Renee Daniels
“Her resume is astounding,” Padgett said.
Kready and Daniels, who will share the stage with Garner Magnet students, are doing a Valentine’s Day concert (Feb. 15) and promise love songs galore, plus standards from some of Broadway’s biggest hits.
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to Garner, especially to work with area students,” Kready said. “The talent and dedication of budding performers in the region is extraordinary. Having a chance to coach them one-on-one will be exciting.”
Kready said the Garner audience was so appreciative last spring that he is excited to come back.
“To sing again for Garner audiences will be a joy . . .they were so receptive last time, and I know they'll be bowled over when they get to hear Nikki,” Kready said.
Jeff Kready sings on the Topeka Festival Singers concert.
