Classical Duo To Perform Broadway's Greatest Hits In Ocean County
Tenor and soprano Dakota & Elle will be singing classics from Broadway's Golden Age at St. Elisabeth's By-The Sea this summer.
SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ — Ocean County's favorite tenor and soprano will be performing hits from Broadway's Golden Age right on the water.
Dakota & Elle are bringing "THE GOLDEN AGE OF BROADWAY: Broadway's Greatest Hits from the '40s, '50s, and '60s" to St. Elisabeth's By-The-Sea in July.
The duo of Dakota Reider and Elle Jones are often compared to a young Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. The two met in a community theatre production of "Pippin" and have been making music together ever since. Both are classically trained by Julliard Master Teacher Steven Schnurman.

St. Elisabeth's was an icon of Ortley Beach from 1885 until it was destroyed by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. The new chapel opened in 2017, and its all-wooden interior creates the perfect acoustic environment for Broadway's classic hits.
