2. Pacific Jazz Orchestra Ivan Lin's 80th Birthday Celebration
We couldn’t be more thrilled to have the Segerstrom Center debut of the Pacific Jazz Orchestra, LA’s new resident 40-piece ensemble for jazz and beyond. The PJO is the only orchestra of its kind in the country, and with its talent pool of musicians, Los Angeles is the only city where an ensemble like this can be put together, representing jazz, our uniquely American art form.

4. Kerry Butler
“It is always impressive when a singer can take complete ownership of a song, but it is even more impressive when a singer can take complete ownership of an entire set list. Broadway actress Kerry Butler is one of these singers and proves herself worthy of her many Broadway credits.”

8. Annie
Holding onto hope when times are tough can take an awful lot of determination, and sometimes, an awful lot of determination comes in a surprisingly small package. Little Orphan Annie has reminded generations of theatergoers that sunshine is always right around the corner, and now the best-loved musical of all time is set to return in a new production – just as you remember it and just when we need it most.
