Hey Guys,

I could not be more excited to tell you about Natalie Joy Johnson’s solo debut which I am directing for a premiere at Joe’s Pub, Wednesday, February 1st at 7:30 pm.

If you caught her breakout performance in BARE, then you know that, when Natalie sings a song, it stay sung. It has been thrilling for my producing partner, Marissa Kamin, and I to collaborate with Natalie and our genius musical director, Jonah Speidel, on a program which includes Natalie tearing up everything from Jill Scott, Michael Jackson and Missy Elliott to Jerry Herman, Harold Arlen and “A Quiet Night At Home” (the song Natalie made legend in BARE.) plus brilliant original material by Jonah, all accompanied by an eclectic 7 piece orchestra (“Our Lady Jonah and Pink Champagne”) and 3 sassy back-up singers (“The Bubblies.”) It is going to be a monumental night and I hope you can make it.

Tickets are $25 (plus a two drink or $12 minimum) and are going fast so I encourage you to buy now either by calling Telecharge at 212.239.6200 or visiting:

Natalie Joy Johnson, the star of the cult musical Bare: A Pop Opera, will be making her anticipated solo cabaret debut at Joe’s Pub (425 Lafayette Street) on Wednesday, February 1 (7:30 PM).



Equally at home in the worlds of pop, rock, rhythm and blues, country, and musical theatre, Johnson will explore her music vocabulary in this exciting evening with musical director Jonah Speidel and the eclectic Pink Champagne Orchestra featuring the Bubblies in a program directed by Ben Rimalower (Joy). The evening is produced by Marissa Kamin.



Johnson will cover such diverse artists as Missy Elliott, Reba McEntire, Michael Jackson, Van Morrison, Harold Arlen, and Jill Scott. Johnson will also sing original music by musical director Jonah Speidel and from Bare “A Quiet Night at Home” by Damon Intrabartolo and Jon Hartmere Jr.



NATALIE JOY JOHNSON was hailed as "a knockout" by The New York Times for her breakout Off-Broadway debut as Nadia in Bare: A Pop Opera. Other recent roles include the NY Musical Theatre Festival's hit production of But I’m A Cheerleader (Sinead), Move It and It’s Yours (Eloise/Caresse), Joy (Kegan), Slut (Mrs. Winterbottom), and the 2001 National Touring production of Godspell (cast recording available on DRG Records). Earlier this year, Natalie collaborated with Adam Fleming and Jonah Speidel on their Feinstein's at the Regency debut - "Postponed Indefinitely." Natalie has been a featured soloist in various concerts and benefits around Manhattan, including such venues as Joe's Pub, Birdland, the Palace Theatre, the New Amsterdam Theatre and the Iridium Jazz Club.
