ELDRED, NY — The Eldred Preserve will welcome Broadway icon Andrea McArdle to the Bradstan Cabaret Series on Sunday, September 28 at 7 p.m.

Known as the original star of “Annie” on Broadway, “McArdle captured the hearts of a generation and made history as the youngest performer ever nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical,” a spokesperson said.  She’ll perform “Confessions of a Broadway Baby” at the Bradstan.

The evening will feature showstoppers from Broadway and Hollywood greats—including Stephen Sondheim, Kander and Ebb, and Charles Strouse—“woven together with candid, often humorous stories about the legendary figures she has worked alongside, from Barbra Streisand to Angela Lansbury.”

“Andrea is a true Broadway legend, and we are honored to have her join us for our Bradstan Cabaret Series,” said Scott Samuelson, COO at the Eldred Preserve. 

McArdle’s career includes starring roles in “Starlight Express,” “Les Misérables” and “Beauty and the Beast” on Broadway. She has headlined national tours of “Cabaret,” “Jerry’s Girl,” and “They’re Playing Our Song,” and performed at some of the world’s most prestigious venues, from Carnegie Hall to the Metropolitan Opera House.

The 2025 Bradstan Cabaret Series offers classic cabaret, musical theater, and comedy. The series will conclude following McArdle’s performance with Patti Greco Sunshine on Sunday, October 14 at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available at www.theeldredpreserve.com/cabaret. Doors open at 6 p.m., with cocktails and light fare available. Guests can also have dinner at the Homestead Restaurant + Lounge in advance of the show and receive 15 percent off their meal.
