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:
1. Sway
2. Alright, Okay, You Win,
3. Sentimental Journey
4. Le Jazz Hot
5. Someone to Watch Over Me
6. And All that Jazz
7. Butterfly
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”
A crazy singing myth out there is that “If I get training, I can only sing in one style.” This drives me nuts!!!
So in this singing power tip, I talk about this myth, what resonators are and how the right singing teacher will open up your voice in a way that empowers you to sing in any style you choose.

I love this song, Don’t Rain on My Parade, from the musical “Funny Girl”…. I feel like it exemplifies life. How many times have we had a dream or something we were excited about only to have someone poo poo it? Seriously, enough right?
If you have something inside you, you gotta do it and not let anyone rain your parade!
For anyone who knows my story, I grew up with life threatening illness and doctors didn’t even know if I would survive past my teenage years let alone be healthy enough to sing, dance and act. But I defied them and didn’t let ‘what they know’ rain on my parade. Which is why this is the kick off song on my first album of the same title.
Now you go and live your dreams… you deserve to shine your light baby!
Okay here I am singing it at one of the fundraisers I produced… Enjoy:

First time I heard the song “Miss Byrd” from the musical, Closer than Ever, was when I was a 19 year student at Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts. It was in musical theatre class and sung by a super talented student named Naomi. I admired the sauciness of it and how playful it was…. only years later did I have the guts and the comfort within myself to show my more sexual side, was I able to jump up and perform it.
So here it is …. taken from my Hollywood fund-raiser for my Red Carpet Dreaming Tour. Accompanied on piano by Jeremy Weinglass. Enjoy:

Miss Saigon was a musical based on Puccini’s opera “Madame Butterfly” about an American who falls in love with an Asian girl when he was on duty in her country. After the war is over, he returns to the US unknowing that he left her pregnant.
This song I am singing from this musical is called “Now that I’ve Seen Her” and I play the American wife who finds out about my husband’s previous life and his child.
