Jarrod and Kellie have taken their big voices and beauty and added them to an intricately scripted, meticulously rehearsed, and blissfully spectacular new show that, just last night, came into the light.

Tony Award-Winning Producer Adam Epstein and BroadwayWorld's Ben Rimalower will appear on On the Rocks Radio Show Tuesday, March 30th at 7pmPST/10pmEST with host TV/radio personality Alexander Rodriguez to chat theatre during COVID, careers, and more.

In FUNNY HOW IT HAPPENS, Jarrod and Kelli skillfully selected the songs they performed to incorporate songs meaningful to their relationship, songs significant to their careers, and songs that have traditionally been audience favorites.  Every song was an excellent choice, whether they performed them solo or as a duet.  Their harmony and stage chemistry resonate the deep connection of two performers who are deeply in love with each other and want to communicate that love to their audiences.  I enjoyed every song whether it was a song I was familiar with or not.  Among the songs were “Close to You,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Be My Baby,” “You’ve Got a Friend,” “Cabaret,” “I Got You, Babe,”  “New York State of Mind,” and even a lounge act arrangement of “You Give Love a Bad Name.”  The instrumentation, during this time of social distancing, was a solo piano, brilliantly played by Adam Ben David.
