HOODWINKED FROM HEAVEN makes its NYC debut at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia at Peter Norton's Symphony Space on May 7, 2023.
Originally trained as a classical singer, Elisa Brown is known internationally for her “eloquent voice,” and her “incredible vocal talents with a heartfelt take on life." She takes us back to her Texas roots in Hoodwinked from Heaven – an original, down-home show she wrote for her late father Bill who suffered with Alzheimer's.
In this heart-warming, knee slapping, one woman show, Elisa kicks up her heels and spins some Tall Texas tunes and tales inspired by true family stories. This show celebrates the deeply American music that kept Elisa’s family alive with hope and laughter and continues the legacy of her father’s character and love.
Originally trained as a classical singer, Elisa’s “melodious, soulful singing” has been thrilling audiences around the globe for decades. Her ability to sing a wide range of vocal styles – from country to pop to Spanish musical theater and opera – have taken her to solo performances on Off-Broadway, The Bitter End, and Carnegie Hall, as well as to concert venues in South America, Spain, and China, and onwards to her own show on PBS, The Heart of Art with Elisa Brown. Her CDs, The Ave Maria Experience and New World, co-written and co-arranged with GRAMMY winning producer Barry Goldstein, have garnered worldwide praise.
“Romantic” … “wistful in tone” … “inspirational” …

“This is truly an amazing CD! When you’re feeling down, need a little healing and connection with the Divine, or just needing energy quietly close your eyes and let Elisa’s voice … inspire.”
~~ Shirley MacLaine
“There are many talented singers, songwriters and performers. That’s not rare. Elisa possesses those talents and one more: charisma in spades. She is unique and someone you will remember.”
~~ Mel Howard, Tony and Moliere Award Winning Producer
