Natalie Joy Johnson, of Legally Blonde and Bare: A Pop Opera, premiered her new club act at Therapy on Monday, February 25, with Musical Direction by Brian J. Nash, with special material by John Hill and directed by Ben Rimalower.
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.
Performances continue Tuesday, March 4 at 11PM and Thursday, March 13 at 11PM. No cover/no minimum
Natalie Joy Johnson is making her Broadway debut as Enid Hoopes, the law school lesbian, in Legally Blonde the Musical.
