Rivertowne Players presents singer Mary Mikels’ “Broadway Favorites and More Concert” at the Historic Masonic Theatre in downtown New Bern
Mary Mikels will perform a concert featuring classic show tunes from Les Misérables, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, and more, including “O Mio Babbino Caro,” the opera piece that landed her a spot in the first round of American Idol.
Mary is a soprano with an uncommonly wide range. She has been singing her whole life. She was born totally blind with no eyes, and a hearing impairment in one ear but her gift of song and her passion for sharing joy were undeniable. Though Mary’s story is profoundly moving, it's her vocal skills and her warmth that have earned her well-deserved praise and recognition, including performances with The Tenors, the North Carolina Master Chorale, and as a contestant on American Idol.
“If you got an obstacle in your life, but you've got the willpower and the desire to accomplish a goal and pursue a dream, there's nothing that's going to stop you from doing it.” – Mary Mikels
The |Concert will be presented on June 8th 2025 at 3:00pm
