Lucy Schaufer Releases New Album Feat. Track from Off-Broadway's BOOBS! THE MUSICAL

Musical theatre and opera star, Lucy Schaufer has just released a new album "Carpentersville," featuring the Ruth Wallis hit, "The Dinghy Song" from Off-Broadway's Boobs! The Musical. Extensively researching her material, Lucy contacted Boobs! The Musical original producer/choreographer Lawrence Leritz for some tips. "I was more than happy to assist such a wonderfully talented artist. I love her rendition of the song. It's really sensational."

The abundantly gifted singer - an American long-resident in England - is returning to her roots with the solo CD, Carpentersville, which the Illinois native launches this summer. And all of it through the vision of a kid who grew up in a small town outside of Chicago called Carpentersville. From Leonard Bernstein to Richard Rodgers's grandson Adam Guettel, Hopper's Wife composer StewArt Wallace to singer/songwriter Ruth Wallis (Boobs! The Musical), Marc Blitzstein to Amanda McBroom, Schaufer's choice of material covers the American waterfront and more.

Lucy Schaufer has earned critical and popular acclaim as a versatile and distinctive singing actress with companies as diverse as the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet and London's Young Vic. Lucy has also made her mark in musical theatre, appearing as Margaret Johnson in the European premiere of Adam Guettel's The Light in the Piazza for The Curve - Leicester, City Center's initial seasons of Encores! appearing in performances of Lady in the Dark and One Touch of Venus, Miss Hyde in Very Warm for May conducted by John McGlinn at Weill Recital Hall, Emilia in The Firebrand of Florence for The Barbican's "Weill: From Berlin to Broadway" and Clare de Loone in ENO's Olivier-nominated production of Bernstein's On the Town.

Boobs! The Musical opened at the The Triad Theatre in New York City on May 19, 2003 to critical praise and eventually transferred to Dillons Reprise Room; by closing date it had played 300 performances. It had subsequent long runs in New Orleans and Wichita.
