Helen Reddy

is woman and this Friday and Saturday, the Frederick

Brown Jr. Amphitheater in Peachtree City will hear her

roar.

Reddy was

born into a well-known Australian show business family

and has been performing since she was a child. She moved

to the United States and made her first mark in popular

music after signing with Capitol Records.

The first

track she recorded was a new song from a relatively

unknown musical composer. The song "I Don't Know How

To Love Him," from Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical

"Jesus Christ Superstar," became the first hit

for both Reddy and Webber.

Reddy then

focused on writing her own music and her song "I Am

Woman" became her first number-one record. The song

won a Grammy, made Reddy a household name and became an

anthem for the feiminist movement.

Reddy

followed the success of "I Am Woman" with a

slew of top-ten singles including "Leave Me

Alone" (Ruby Red Dress), "Angie Baby,"

"Delta Dawn" and "You and Me Against The

World." She has recorded dozens of gold and platinum

selling albums and has become an international star.

Reddy then

began performing in television specials, which have been

seen in over 40 countries. She starred in the Disney film

"Pete's Dragon" and continues to attract fans

of all ages.

It was

after her role in "Pete's Dragon" that Reddy

returned to the stage. She held starring roles in

productions of "Anything Goes," "Call Me

Madam" and "The Mystery of Edwin Drood."

She is also

a huge fan of English playwright and composer Willy

Russell and has become the foremost interpreter of his

work. She has performed in productions of "Blood

Brothers" and in "Shirley Valentine" on

both Broadway and in the West End of London.

Though she

has received rave reviews for her theatrical work, Reddy

still appears in concert. She released the album

"Center Stage" in 1998, which is a perfect

blend of her distinctive sound and the Broadway hits she

has made her own. She has also been active in her

community, serving as the Commissioner of Parks and

Recreation for the state of California.

Reddy will

perform Friday and Saturday night, June 16 and 17 at the

Frederick Brown Jr. Amphiheater. The show will begin at 8

p.m. and tickets are $25. Call 770-631-0630 for more

information.
