Tickets to see Shoshana Bean perform at the Jewish Federation of Greater Portland’s Opening Night are going fast.

Opening Night, starring Broadway star and solo artist Shoshana Bean in a special one-night cabaret performance, begins with a cocktail hour featuring live music by a four-piece combo at 6 p.m., Oct. 25, at the Mittleman Jewish Community Center.

Bean’s first Broadway role in “Hairspray” won her praise in the New York Times. She next played the green-witch Elphaba in “Wicked” to sold-out audiences for a year. After leaving “Wicked,” she recorded vocals for the films “Hairspray” and “Enchanted.”

The elegant event for donors who make a $1,000 or more gift to the 2008 Annual Federation Campaign also will feature fabulous food and a complimentary bar.

Tickets for Opening Night are $90 per person before Oct. 11 and $100 per person after Oct. 11. Those who have not received an invitation but would like more information on the evening may contact JFGP Campaign Director Laurie Rogoway at 503-245-6473.
