801 Supper Club: Josh Young & Emily Padgett

In 2019 we were thrilled by Josh Young and his surprise guest, wife and Broadway Star Emily Padgett. From the opening number to the close of the show it was a night of standing ovations. Most certainly when they brought their 4-month daughter on stage at evenings end!

They have been working on a new concert performance and we quickly asked them to join us for the 2020 season where it will be a WORLD DEBUT:

Valjean, Cosette and a String Quartet

With musical director Eugene Gwozdz on Piano, a full string quartet and their powerful voices Josh and Emily will bring the music of Les Misérables to the Mansion Stage for a sensational event.

Emily Padgett is truly a Broadway Super Star. She recently was Daisy Hilton literally alongside her costar Erin Davie as conjoined twins in the powerhouse Broadway revival of Sideshow. Emily was Sherrie Christian in Rock of Ages, as well as for originating the roles of Lucy Grant in Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's Bright Star, and Mrs. Bucket in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Those at the Mansion last summer will well remember her exceptional performance of “Over the Rainbow.”

Josh Young is an exceptional, dynamic and dramatic bari-tenor - a baritone singing voice with virtually a tenor range. Beyond that he is a storyteller and masterful in engaging his audience. He has starred on Broadway as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar for which he was nominated for a Tony Award and Also as Newton in Amazing Grace.

After our show last season many felt that his voice and power reminded them of Josh Groban – Perhaps it’s a “Josh” thing … But here are what reviews have said:

“Josh Young lets loose with a dynamic voice that comes from his toes & shatters the air with beauty and force”. --Jeanne McCartin, Fosters Daily Democrat

"Young has a booming bari-tenor that brings down the house” --- John Olson, Talkin’ Broadway

" a powerful performance by Josh Young who has a vocal range that is absolutely amazing”, Lawrence Riordan. Around the Town Chicago
