City Events Calendar

Saturday, November 4, two special performances of Book of Margo Broadway Cabaret will be offered to benefit the expansion project of Eager Free Public Library.

The musical performance will be given by former Evansville resident and extraordinary musical talent Margo Losey Mikkelson.  Both concerts take place at Edgewood College, 1000 Edgewood College Dr., Madison.  Advanced ticket purchases are required.  Tickets are $10 or $15.

2:00 PM Concert  (Doors Open at 1:30 PM)

7:30 PM Concert  (Doors Open  at 7:00 PM)

The show is a compilation of great Broadway hits (numbers from Evita, Funny Girl, South Pacific, to name a few) and personal stories from Margo’s life, loves, and experiences in Wisconsin, Australia, and many other places her life has taken her. 

From Asia to Europe to Australia, Margo’s vocal stylings have inspired audiences around the world.  A Fine Arts graduate of St. Olaf College in Minnesota, Margo’s professional career began overseas, then circled back to Wisconsin and Kansas City, via New York.  Favorite roles include Eva Peron in “Evita” and Fantine in “Les Miserables.”  Margo was also a featured soloist with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and a Dialect Coach for Village Roadshow Studios in Australia.  A bit closer to home, Margo worked as a news producer at NBC15 and WKOW, and has performed with the Madison Opera Company.
