Daniel Nardicio and Jen Gapay of Thirsty Girl Productions join forces with this series of downtown performers moving uptown.
Molly Pope and Cole Escola, described as "bastard children of the Orpheum Circuit and the Hollywood studio system," make their Feinstein's debut on February 28th as part of the Downtown Series presented by Daniel Nardicio and Thirsty Girl.
Molly Pope, the new-old-school-diva, plays it fast and loose with an eclectic mix of new, old and antique numbers. Recently named the “Best Singer to Turn Life Into a Cabaret” by the Village Voice in their 2011 “Best of NYC” issue, Miss Pope juxtaposes ingenious pop reinventions with the Great American Songbook and adds a dash of faux-reography to create her own unique nero-retro style and sound. Cole Escola, who blends “boyish mischief with dizzy charm and the ruthless coyness of a starlet bent on fame” (Adam Feldman, Time Out New York), performs comedic original songs like they're old-timey showstoppers and old-timey showstoppers like they're nobody's business. Conceived in a poorly-lit gay bar in the West Village, this double act will satiate young and old show queens alike. Brandon James Gwinn joins the duo on piano for this madcap evening.
The 29th Angela Di Carlo, who’s Mad Men musical parody, The Mad World of Miss Hathaway has been making waves downtown. Tonight, Comedic downtown songstress Angela Di Carlo delivers an up-beat, high energy evening of original songs and bawdy wit. She performs fresh tracks from her newly minted EP, Just to Be Polite. Ms Di Carlo's music spans many genres including country, rock, and even teen angst ballads which are delivered with a spontaneity and style all her own. An evening sure to entertain and offend.
And last, but not least, Broadway’s own Natalie Joy Johnson, who originated the role of Enid Hoopes in Legally Blonde and was on Time Out New York's "Top Ten Downtown Diva Every Gay Man Should Know And Be Obsessed With".
