Natalie Joy Johnson Performs at Ars Nova, 7/22 & 7/31

Following her hit Joe's Pub and The Cutting Room engagements, Bare star Natalie Joy Johnson will play Ars Nova on Saturday, July 22nd and Monday, July 31st - at 8:00pm.

Our Lady J, as well as The Pink Champagne Orchestra, will once again join Johnson, as will her "Bubblies" (Kevin Smith Kirkwood, Michael Jacob Hammerstrom and J. Edward Lucas).  Ben Rimalower will direct the evening, which will feature a number of added songs.

Johnson received acclaim for her breakout Off-Broadway debut as Nadia in Bare: A Pop Opera. Other recent roles include the NY Musical Theatre Festival's hit production of But I'm a Cheerleader (Sinead), Move It and It's Yours, Joy (Kegan), Slut (Mrs. Winterbottom), and the 2001 National Touring production of Godspell (cast recording available on DRG Records). Earlier this year, Johnson collaborated with Adam Fleming and Jonah Speidel on their Feinstein's at the Regency debut - "Postponed Indefinitely." She has been a featured soloist in various concerts and benefits around Manhattan, including such venues as Birdland, the Palace Theatre, the New Amsterdam Theatre and the Iridium Jazz Club.
