Angelic Jackie Evancho returns to PBS with her latest collection of songs from her new CD, Awakening. Drawn from the best known pieces from the classical canon, Broadway, uplifting sacred music and pop songs, Jackie's astoundingly beautiful young voice soars again at the magnificent Longwood Gardens Open Air Theatre. Longwood Gardens is over 1,000 acres of gardens, woodlands and meadows in Pennsylvania's Brandywine Creek Valley, Jackie's home state. This is the first time Longwood Gardens has ever permitted a television special to be taped on site and, in addition to her on-stage performance, Jackie will be performing at various stunning locations throughout the Gardens such as the Chimes Tower and the spectacular Main Fountain. Jackie will be joined by Cheyenne Jackson who will both host and perform with Jackie. Cheyenne, star of Broadway, film and television, is perhaps best known for his starring and award-winning Broadway performance in Finian's Rainbow , his recurring role in NBC's 30 Rock, and his starring role in HBO biopic, Liberace, Behind the Candelabra. The two will also show us some of the splendid beauty of the Gardens as they tour some gorgeous key locations within it.
