Hey y'all... Long time, no post here... good to be back though!
I was curious if there were any "non-famous" actors you would be interested in seeing in a concert, or cabaret? I know there are a couple relatively unknown understudies that I've seen who were FANTASTIC, and I'd like to see more! Who are YOUR Favs?
This may not count anymore but I'd love to see Haven Burton do a cabaret. I'd love to see how many music styles her voice can cover. I imagine we have NO idea what she is capable of.
Any of the girls from Jersey Boys seem like they would be great to see. They've got such a wide range, I'm sure a cabaret from any of them would be great!
I definitely agree with DCR - Natalie Weiss. Her voice is beautiful, her talent so raw and unadulterated... I hope we get to watch her career blossom in the next few years.
"I will not cease from mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand: Till we have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land."
My favorite Natalie Weiss story: Sme years ago, she appeared as one of a group of "young up-and-comers" at the Duplex. I got seated at a table of an older couple and thier friends. I wasn't impressed with most of the performers, but when Weiss got up I remarked to the group, "Now THIS girl is terrific! I've never heard of her before, but she sure can belt! She's my favorite." The people I was sitting with were her parents and aunt and uncle...I do think I helped to make their evening!
I really want to see solo shows from Sally Wilfert, Alysha Umphress and Rebecca Jones.
