Songstress Sarah Spiegel to perform live at Hollywood’s Dresden, May 7th.
Hollywood, Calif. – Sarah Spiegel, a favorite performer with Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses, will be performing a solo concert May 7 at The Dresden in Hollywood.
Spiegel made a splash in Hollywood 0n July 25, 2010 with Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses featuring Sarah Spiegel for an historic occasion: Louis Prima’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 1617 Vine Street. Louis Jr. and his sister Lena were on hand to accept the star on their father’s behalf, followed by a tribute show to their father. In the year Louis Sr. would have become a centenarian, his son Louis Jr. showed the world that the time is indeed right for a resurgence in big band and swing…and Louis Jr. the one to make the world stand ready to “Jump, Jive an’ Wail.”

To read more about Sarah Spiegel, see her bio on IMDb:
– IMDb Mini Biography By: anonymous
Sarah’s arrival in Los Angeles from South Florida has been met with non-stop work and her future success seems limitless.
Sarah’s impressive credentials feature guest star roles on national television such asSamantha Who? (2007), The King of Queens (1998), Boston Public (2000), NCIS (2003),Living with Fran (2005), and Providence (1999). She has always been a paragon of versatility with an equally impressive stage and theatrical resume. Her melodic voice and effortless acting abilities have thrilled audiences in such diverse performances as Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Dancing at Lughnasa, The Caucasian Chalk Circle and The Threepenny Opera.
Sarah toured with Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses featuring Sarah Spiegel. Louis Prima Jr. carries on the legacy and standards his father made famous… “Just a Gigolo,” “Jump Jive an’ Wail,” “That Old Black Magic,” and “Sing Sing Sing,” to name a few.
Contrary to the average grammar school student of her day, Sarah acquired a love for the “Big Band” sound and has been charming audiences ever since. She earned a highly renowned reputation in Southern Florida where she is known as “The Regal Miss Sarah Spiegel”, or more succinctly – “The Regal Miz”. Her 1930’s and ’40’s song stylings can be heard daily on the popular radio station, WJTW 100.3 FM in Palm Beach County, right alongside Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Barbra Streisand. Inspired by her love of the big band standards, Sarah has recently written a heartfelt one woman show, which will soon debut on a Los Angeles stage. It will feature established and original songs. The show, “Through the Perilous Fight (We Never Stopped Singing)” is a tribute to the beautiful and heroic music of World War II.
Displaying her versatility, Sarah was recruited by the General Motors Corporation to be a national spokesperson for their 100th anniversary celebration. She interviewed and shared the stage with many luminaries from the business and entertainment field. Much of Sarah’s GM work can be seen on television and on the internet.
Jesse Saunders’ BrokenRecords label officially released Sarah’s version of “I Dreamed a Dream” (from Les Miserables) and is available for purchase through iTunes.com
To experience another completely different aspect of Sarah’s vocal abilities, search YouTube.com for Sarah’s rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. Filmed in front of 70,000 St. Louis Rams fans before an NFL game, this footage was captured by the CBS cameras.
Sarah is recording her first full length, contemporary/pop CD with platinum selling artist, Eddie Hedges (Blessid Union of Souls) producing. Her latest music video taken from these sessions, “I Will Be Strong” has been inspiring people around the world and can also be seen on YouTube.com.

CONSTANTINE MAROULIS TO REPRISE HIS TONY AWARD-NOMINATED PERFORMANCE
Tony Award Nominee and American Idol finalist, Constantine Maroulis, will reprise his acclaimed performance as Drew in the First National Tour of the five-time Tony Award nominated smash-hit musical ROCK OF AGES, which will mark its L.A.

It’s ROCK OF AGES, an arena-rock love story told through the mind-blowing, face-melting hits of Journey, Bon Jovi, Poison and many more. Don’t miss this awesomely good time about dreaming big, playing loud and partying on.
