LAURA BENANTI - "SUCKER" 





LAURA BENANTI SHARES NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO HER TAKE ON THE JONAS BROTHERS' CHART-TOPPING HIT "SUCKER"
 
TONY® AWARD-WINNING STAR WILL DONATE 100% OF HER EARNINGS FROM THE RECORDING TO FOODCORPS ON THE HEELS OF LAURA'S SOCIAL MEDIA
CAMPAIGN #SUNSHINESONGS



"I've been working on new music for a while and have been so looking forward to releasing it this year.  When it became clear to me that my first single would drop during the height of the Corona crisis, the only thing that felt right to me was to turn the release into a charitable endeavor. In keeping with the intention of the #SunshineSongs campaign (to bring light to a dark time) the accompanying video for ‘Sucker' is a compilation of how so many of us are spending our time; from quarantine to the frontlines. It is meant to be a love letter to America, especially our first responders and those being of service during this unprecedented time. We are all in this together."

In the midst of an illustrious career spanning Broadway, film, and television, Tony® Award-winning actress, singer, author, and philanthropist Laura Benanti now brings a longstanding dream to life as she gears up to release new solo music with Sony Music Masterworks.  With Broadway credits ranging from the My Fair Lady revival and Steve Martin's Meteor Shower to She Loves Me, Laura garnered a Tony® Award in the category of "Best Featured Actress in a Musical" for the 2008 production of Gypsy-among five career nominations to date. Meanwhile, her performance in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown would be honored with the Drama Desk Award and Outer Critics Circle Award for "Best Featured Actress in a Musical." Simultaneously, she enchanted audiences on the small screen, appearing on Younger, Supergirl, Nashville, The Good Wife, Nurse Jackie, and more in addition to films including WORTH and the upcoming Here Today.

Together with communities, FoodCorps connects kids to healthy food in school. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has forced school closures, our 250 service members, spanning 375 schools in 18 states and Washington, D.C., are helping with emergency meal services, remote food and nutrition lessons that reinforce academic priorities, and garden cultivation for community building and local nourishment. FoodCorps is also mobilizing its nationwide network of partners and allies to advocate for policies that will help schools keep kids nourished through this crisis and beyond. Through our service and advocacy, we seek to demonstrate the power of food in schools and ensure our country's policies and food systems work together to nurture every child's potential.
