Elvira Tortora makes her highly anticipated nightclub debut with The Bookmaker's Daughter, the story of her childhood as the daughter of a bookie living and raising a family in Brooklyn where nothing was unusual… Tortora tells her story through the songs of John Kander and Fred Ebb, Frank Loesser, Stephen Sondheim, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and more songs from the soundtrack of the 60s to today. Featuring musical director/arranger Gregory Toroian on piano, the show is directed by Lina Koutrakos.

 

Tortora returned to her first love, musical theatre, after a 23-year career at Jones New York. A new-found devotion to the study of acting and improv led to various roles in independent films and eventually to voice teacher Celeste Simone. After Simone encouraged Tortora to enroll in the cabaret workshops of Lina Koutrakos, she found her calling: Telling her own stories. And this lady has a story to tell!
