Billed by Variety as “the finest cabaret performer of her generation,” Amanda McBroom's song "The Rose" became a No. 1 international sensation for Bette Midler in 1979, and its success helped launch McBroom's own career as a performer and songwriter, including appearances on Broadway in Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music and Mame. She’s touring in support of Chanson, a tribute to one of her inspirations, '60s balladeer Jacques Brel. Saturday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m. The Barns at Wolf Trap, 1645 Trap Road, Vienna. Tickets are $25. Call 703-255-1900 or visit wolf-trap.org.
