Christiane Noll & Mariand Torres Join Sunday's BWAY JAZZ SESSION

Christiane Noll (Ragtime, Chaplin) and Mariand Torres (Wicked, In Transit) will be the featured vocalists in the next installment of "Russ Kaplan's Broadway Jazz Session," the new monthly series which presents In Transit composer Kaplan's innovative jazz interpretations of current Broadway favorites.

The show will be on Sunday, August 13 at 8:00 PM (doors are open at 6:30), at The Green Room 42 [570 10th Ave, New York, NY 10036]. Tickets are $20 and available at https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pe.c/10188243. There is no food and drink minimum. All ages may attend.

Composer Russ Kaplan has always had a love of both musical theater and cutting-edge jazz. His concert series brings together his two passions, as he and his eight-piece band offer innovative instrumental interpretations of tunes from the current Broadway season - from new (Dear Evan Hansen, Hamilton) to classic (Chicago, Hello Dolly). Past guest vocalists have included Justin Guarini, Michael McElroy, Aisha de Haas, Kate Rockwell, Arbender Robinson, and Shayna Steele.

As a theater writer, Kaplan is the co-creator of Broadway's In Transit (Drama Desk, Outer Critics' Circle, Drama League and Lortel nominations), family musical Dear Albert Einstein (Off-Broadway Alliance Award nominee) and play-with-music High School Confidential, among other works. His debut jazz album The Ulysses Cycle was released on Ropeadope Records and includes the Independent Music Award-winning track "Pigz in Space?." The band was a finalist in WNYC's 2015 Battle of the Boroughs.
