today, Cole can take a lyric, slow it down, explore it and
deconstruct it before putting it back together in a charming
new way. Her sense of timing, melody and playfulness has earned
her a huge following around the world. Her current CD, Baby,
It's Cold Outside, celebrates the Christmas season through
holiday standards and lesser-known chestnuts, all of which
she manages to make entirely her own.

Contact @ The Fox Theatre
A
musical without singers? Well, no -- there's Robert Palmer,
Dion and the Belmonts, and The Beach Boys to name a few. A
book musical with a minimum of talking? Yes, but Broadway's
hottest director / choreographer wrote it with one of Broadway's
most honored musical book writers. Time Magazine flat out
hailed Contact for "kicking the dust off a tired old
Broadway." They raved, "Contact is a trio of exquisitely
tooled production numbers peopled with lonely hearts longing
to reach out to someone, and when they finally touch, your
own heart does all the singing necessary."

"Everything's Alright," "What's The Buzz,"
"Superstar," "Heaven On Their Mind" and
a stunning visual design, this is truly a superstar for the
