Natalie Joy Johnson, audience favorite in Legally Blonde and Bare: A Pop Opera, debuts an "exciting new club act at Therapy after sold out engagements of previous shows at Joe's Pub, the Cutting Room, Feinstein's and Ars Nova. Natalie's new act channels old school show business through a contemporary lens harkening back to a time when the great ladies of stage and screen entertained in rooms all over New York on any given night.  She brings her powerful and expressive voice to an evening both irreverent and compelling and completely unlike any other show in town," state press notes.

Johnson is making her Broadway debut as Enid Hoopes, the law school lesbian, in Legally Blonde the Musical.  Other NY credits include bare: a pop opera (Nadia), But I'm a Cheerleader (Sinead), Joy (Kegan), and the national tour of Godspell (Bless The Lord). Her concert act, Natalie Joy Johnson with Our Lady J and the Pink Champagne Orchestra featuring the Bubblies has been selling out shows at Joe's Pub, Ars Nova, and the Cutting Room. www.nataliejoyjohnson.com
