Last Weekend as a Loose Woman :-p

Meine Damen und Herren, Mesdames et Messieurs, Ladies und Gentlemen!

For the past month or so, I've been rehearsing and performing the role of Heidi the Kit Kat Girl in that fantastic musical Cabaret at Westminster's brand new Rose Center Theater. Our production boasts and impressive cast, and if you haven't ever seen this groundbreaking musical you should. It is one of the most important and socially relevant musicals to ever grace the broadway stage, and more importantly, it's delightfully entertaining daaahling! I should mention that The Rose Center Theater is a state-of-the-art facility with a huge stage, and a quality comfortable viewing experience is guaranteed.

Jazz Show at the Jazz Bakery

I have a Jazz Show at the fabulous Jazz Bakery, 3233 Helms Ave., Culver City. on Sept. 21 at 4PM. The cost is $25 at the door or you can go online at www.JAZZBAKERY.com
to reserve tickets. I'm so lucky to have talented jazz pianist Michael King as my accompanist and hopefully my Uncle Tony will join me on stage for a few songs -- he's the most amazing singer!

The cover charge ranges from $10-$25 with no drink minimum. There's also a small restaurant.
