Singer/Actress
JULIE JOHNSON Performs at Judy's Chelsea
Shows Set For July
1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th & 11th at 8:30 pm
After
receiving rave reviews in the Off-Broadway Schmidt & Jones musical,
ROADSIDE, singer/actress Julie Johnson is bringing a brand new evening
of songs and stories to JUDY'S CHELSEA (169 Eighth Avenue, NYC - 212-929-5410
- http://www.judyschelsea.com/)
for five performances July 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, and 11th at 8:30 pm.
Cover charge is $15 with a food/beverage minimum of $10.
Ms. Johnson, a sixth generation
Texan, will be performing original tunes from her recently released
country-inflected CD, All Grown Up ... So Far." Her act will also
include material by Patsy Cline, Amanda McBroom, Carol Hall and Kander
& Ebb. The varied material, along with Julie's impression of Dolly
Parton singing "I Will Always Love You" caused the Dallas Morning
News to rave, "She's quintessential cabaret!" Accompanied on piano
and occasional vocals by fellow Texan, Steve Barcus, the two have
an easy-going banter that suggests a cabaret version of Sonny & Cher.
Julie Johnson was last
seen on Broadway in Hal Prince's CANDIDE. Broadway veterans Harvey
Schmidt and Tom Jones developed the lead role in their recent Off-Broadway
production, ROADSIDE, specifically for Julie after seeing her in the
musical PAPER MOON at Goodspeed Opera House. She was also seen Off-Broadway
in DAS BARBECU and toured with the Amanda McBroom musical, HEARTBEATS.
Earlier this year, Julie played the title role in a seven-week sold-out
run of A CLOSER WALK WITH PATSY CLINE at the Granbury Opera House
in Dallas.
Ms. Johnson has amassed
millions of young fans by bringing a voice to the 3-year-old dinosaur
Baby Bop on the "Barney & Friends" children's television series. Cabaret
fans will also remember Julie from many New York appearances with
RSVP: The Vocal Group.
