Carol Burnett and Kathy Bates played the role of Miss Hannigan in the smash musical hit, Annie… and now me!
Here I am singing “Little Girls” …. this is gonna be a different side of me, perhaps even a little scary!
This professional production ran in Dec 2011 at the Fallsview Theatre in Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, ON, Canada. Produced by Niagara Theatre and Entertainment and directed by Christopher Wilson.
Okay everyone… here is short video of teasers from my CD, Don’t Rain on my Parade.
It’s a sassy blend of jazz standards mixed in with lively and sentimental show tunes! People say I possess the sentimentality of Michael Buble, the power of Barbara Streisand and the spirit of Tony Bennett. But you decide…
These teasers include 9 of the 12 tracks on the CD:
2. Alright, Okay, You Win,
3. Sentimental Journey
4. Le Jazz Hot
5. Someone to Watch Over Me
6. And All that Jazz
8. Don’t Rain on my Parade
9. Blues in the Night
Intro taken from “Blues in the Night” and ending from “Alright, Okay, You Win”
When I released my first album, Don’t Rain on my Parade, 5 years ago, I co-wrote a song with Stephen Didunyk called Butterfly based on my own story of overcoming life threatening illness and going on to live my dreams to sing.
Since then the video for the song has inspired so many people that over a 1/4 of million people have watched it on you tube.
Watch, be inspired and enjoy… and be sure to download the song as my gift to you (scroll down below video)
Download the song for free by filing out the form.
If you also tell me your favorite Broadway/Musical Theater piece, I may just sing it for you! On a regular basis, I pick the requests out of hat, do some shout outs with snippets of the song request.
Okay so I got a ticket last week and was very peeved… find out why in this episode.
Now I have to decided to pay the fine rather than going to court. But I did really debate if I should go to court and fight it for the principle of the matter.
Here is the episode:
Get uncorked and tell us about what you would do in my situation or if you had a situation like this and what you did? Or maybe you want to get uncorked about how you can be more transparent in your life and/or business.
Here I am singing “Una Voce Poco Fa” from the Barber of Seville at my “Red Carpet Dreaming” Fundraiser for the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness in Toronto, Canada on May 27th, 2011.
For a little laugh, check out the wardrobe malfunction at 42 seconds. Oops!
So if you have been following my work for a bit, you are probably thinking… “She sings Opera?” – yup! For years I trained towards my operatic performance diploma and even sang solo with the Downsview Symphony. Since this was my first performance in my hometown in a bit, I decided to pay homage to my roots. It was soooo fun.
Let me know if you like this side of me… maybe I will throw in a Carmen at my next show!
Okay here it is:
