Former teen idol Deborah Gibson, who also boasts several Broadway credits, will perform in concert at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in October.

Gibson will play the New York jazz club oct. 7 at 8PM. "I've become the all around entertainer of late, so the show will be part Broadway, part pop and part new material," Gibson said in a statement.

After early pop success, Long Island native Deborah Gibson focused on the musical theatre, performing in the Broadway companies of Les Miserables, Grease!, Cabaret and Beauty and the Beast as well as the national tours of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Funny Girl and Cinderella. Gibson also appeared in the North Shore Music Theatre's production of Chicago and opposite Betty Buckley in the Paper Mill mounting of Gypsy. She was seen on FOX-TV's "Skating with Celebrities" and in the film "Coffee Date."

There is a $27.50 (advance) or $30 (day of show) cover charge. B.B. King Blues Club and Grill is located in Manhattan at 237 W. 42nd Street. For more information visit www.bbkingblues.com.
