Singer Ariana Grande, known to thousands of ankle-biting young'uns as Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon series Victorious, emerged as a fully-formed songstress with a hit debut album Yours Truly in 2013. That album skyrocketed Grande to new heights, hitting number one on the Billboard music charts and bringing the bright-eyed, ponytailed ingenue to a bigger audience. With several music awards, comparisons to Mariah Carey, a charity organization, and several collaborations with Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, rapper Big Sean and electronic musician Cashmere Cat under her belt, it seems that there's no slowing down for the Florida native, who brings a refreshing spunk and other-worldly talent to the stage, be it a television, theater, or music stage. Tonight the “My Way” and “Problem” singer will mesmerize audiences of all ages with her electric star power and youthful charisma.
