TOM
GROUNDS MAKING HIS NEW YORK CABARET DEBUT IN NOVEMBER
Tom
Grounds is bringing his critically acclaimed show "Something That
I Wanted You to Know" to THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher
Street, NYC - 1-212-255-5438 - http://www.theduplex.com/)
for two shows (Tuesdays, November 18th & 25th at 7:00 pm) and also
to the newest jewel in the New York Cabaret world MAMA ROSE'S (219
Second Avenue, NYC - 212-533-0558 - http://www.mamaroses.net/) also
for two shows (Saturday & Sunday, November 22nd & 23rd at 4:00 pm).
These four performances mark Tom's New York Cabaret Debut but not
his New York singing debut, which was in the recital hall of Carnegie
Hall in 1985 when he was a soloist with the Gary Beard Chorale. There
is a $15 cover and 2-drink minimum for shows at each venue. There
is a $5 discount for CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE and MAC members.
"Something
That I Wanted You to Know" is an autobiographical look at Tom's life
through songs of the ever growing American Songbook. The show includes
songs by Craig Carnelia, Brian Lasser, Jason Robert Brown, Brad Ross
& Ellen Greenfield, Wayne Moore, Tom Andersen, Babbie Green, and many
others. The show explores Relationships, Families, Careers, Hopes
and dreams along the road of life. In one or more of these areas,
we've all had a moment when we look back and ask "What was I thinking?"
With humor and sensitivity, Tom shares his experiences of making sense
out of adolescence, the ups and downs of falling in (and out) of love,
and unpacking the baggage of the past.
The show
started life in 1999 when artistic director Linda K. Leonard, musical
director Ricky Pope and Tom conceived a 90-minute show under a different
name for the Cabaret Series of a theatre in Dallas. That show was
re-worked and serves as Tom's debut CD which was released last November.
In March of this year, the current 60-minute version was developed
and that is the show that Tom, Linda and Ricky are taking to New York.
Mr. Grounds
has been a professional performer since the age of 13 when he landed
an equity role in Chicago. Over the years Tom has been seen on many
regional musical theatre stages, and with regional orchestras and
opera companies in various roles.
