About This Show

Nu Deco returns to the iconic Miami Beach Bandshell as part of our momentous 10th season celebration featuring the trailblazing pop icon, Betty Who. The classically trained singer, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist has experienced practically every dimension of pop cultural visibility: going viral on the bombastic strength of 2014 single “Somebody Loves You,” soundtracking Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot with “All Things,” forming deep ties with foundations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project and becoming an LGBTQ+ icon due to her infectious, always-inclusive artistry. The program for this captivating evening will also feature new music by award-winning composer Gabriella Smith titled Spark, an exciting Nu Deco original composition, and our acclaimed Pharrell Suite, featuring reimaginations of some of his biggest hits as a GRAMMY-winning producer like “Hot in Herre,” “Rock Your Body,” “Happy,” and more. 

Called a “chamber orchestra for the 21st century” by the New York Times, our performances have featured artists including Wyclef Jean, Allen Stone, Macy Gray, Monsieur Perine, Jacob Collier, and Ben Folds; reimagined orchestral suites of the music of Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, The Beatles, and Aretha Franklin; symphonic masterworks from Bernstein, Stravinsky, and Gershwin; and new music from some of today’s most exciting living composers.

Betty Who

BETTY AUG-4

If you need to know anything about Australian-American pop trailblazer Betty Who, it's that she is a survivor. Born Jessica Newham in Sydney, Australia, the classically trained singer, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist has experienced practically every dimension of pop cultural visibility: going viral on the bombastic strength of 2014 single "Somebody Loves You," soundtracking Netflix's Queer Eye reboot with "All Things," forming deep ties with foundations like GLAAD and the Trevor Project and becoming an LGBTQ+ icon due to her infectious, always-inclusive artistry. Moving from the rigid major-label machinery to rediscovering her power as an independent artist, Betty Who kicked off her latest, most triumphant chapter on her fourth studio album, Big, which she wrote in its entirety. Together with longtime friend and collaborator Martin Johnson (Boys Like Girls), who also worked on Betty's 2014 debut Take Me When You Go, Betty explores self-love and acceptance on songs like "She Can Dance," the power of female friendship on "I Can Be Your Man," and career perseverance on the joyous "Blow Out My Candle." On Big, Betty sings with as much pop exuberance as she always has, but her latest — and greatest — is the most open-hearted and personal work she's ever produced.

In 2023, Betty made her Broadway debut as Persephone in the Tony Award winning show HADESTOWN.
