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

NEW MUSIC VIDEO IS A MOVING TRIBUTE THAT CELEBRATES FAMILIES, LOVED ONES & ESSENTIAL WORKERS DURING AN UNPRECEDENTED TIME OF THE NEW TRACK AND VIDEO, LAURA BENANTI SAYS:

"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.
