“…Mars’ voice sparkles throughout, showcasing why she’s one of the most-dependable musical stars
in the city. Getting to hear her at Christmas time is a gift itself…”
Susannah Mars is thrilled to be making her Portland Playhouse debut in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA, a piece that she has adored since its debut in Seattle, 2003. It is her dear hope that she can continue playing Merideth Kaye Clark’s mother for years to come, as she was most recently Golde in Portland Center Stage’s FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, to Merideth’s Tzeitel. Recently, you may have seen Ms. Mars in Next To Normal at Artists Rep, for which she won her sixth Portland Drama Critics award. In future, look for the release of the cast album of the new musical WATT?!? by Brendan Millburn and David Javerbaum; the production of which she joyfully originated the role of Leilani Watt for The Village Theatre in Issaquah, Washington. Also, tune in to GRIMM on NBC where she will be appearing in two future episodes.
COVER CHARGES apply when Wilfs features live music in our bar area – Wednesday – Saturday, 7:30-11:30 pm. Quite simply, the cover charge is paid directly to the artists that you are enjoying each night at Wilfs. When you join us for drinks or dinner and plan on leaving before the music starts, we won’t ask for a cover charge. That does not mean you can come early and avoid paying the cover – we want to make sure our musicians are paid for their performance. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask your host or server.
