Hi San Juan Update – Happy Holidays!
Thought you might want to share some good news about our local young folks. Hanna has been nominated for the Broadway World Cabaret award for the show she wrote, directed and performed in New York over the past year.
The show is based on the biography of Madeline Kahn and after receiving permission from the author of the biography she wrote this show. Hanna has performed the show in 3 venues in New York and had donated all profits to Ovarian Cancer Research fund to honor Madeline Kahn. Madeline Kahn passed away from ovarian cancer in her late 50’s. Listed below is Hanna’s post regarding the award and how to vote for her show.
Anyway – thought this was exciting news for a small town girl gone to a big town.
If anyone wants to view portions of the show and other information about Hanna’s career in New York – you can visit her website – hannaburke.com – (remember no last h on her name) –
Here is the info to vote!
Let’s SUPPORT HANNA and show her how we all feel about her work in New York. If you haven’t yet voted for Hanna Burke (Best Debut Show: “Why Is Everyone Laughing?
