'Phantom' star Kristen Hertzenberg brings Broadway hits to Bayou Theater
January 7, 2019 | UHCL Staff
Well-known for her role as Christine in the Las Vegas production of “Phantom of the
Opera,” classically-trained Kristen Hertzenberg will take center stage at University
of Houston-Clear Lake’s Bayou Theater to perform an evening of classic showtunes on
Friday, Jan. 18, at 7:30 p.m.
Her performance, titled “There’s No Tune Like a Showtune,” showcases her ability to
sing just about anything, from opera to Broadway to the blues. Hertzenberg was raised
in the Houston area, earning her degree in voice at University of Texas Austin and
a master’s degree in opera at the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, Mass. Her previous
theater credits include “Hair,” “Million Dollar Quartet,” as well as five years in
her dream role as Christine in “Phantom.”
“Having an artist of Kristen’s caliber in the Bayou Theater is another opportunity
for the community to see an outstanding performance in our beautifully renovated theater,”
said Bayou Theater Managing Director Alex Malone. “Kristen, along with her pianist
and musical director Philip Fortenberry will take the audience on a musical journey
from the classic showtunes of Rogers and Hammerstein to modern musical hits. You won’t
want to miss it!”
