Jeffrey
Miller returns to Judy's Chelsea in I LOVE TO SING!
Jeffrey
Miller, a tenor equally at home in opera, cabaret, and musical comedy,
returns to JUDY'S CHELSEA (169 Eighth Avenue, NYC - 1-212-929-5410 -
http://www.judyschelsea.com/)
for four performances only in January with I LOVE TO SING! In this
show Jeffrey shifts from Puccini and Verdi to Cy Coleman, the Beatles
and Jonathan Larson (Jeffrey created a leading role in SAVED! AN
IMMORAL MUSICAL ON THE MORAL MAJORITY, the very first musical by the
creator of RENT). At the piano is David Brunetti, who also musically
directed Jeffrey's previous sold-out engagement at JUDY'S CHELSEA.
Performances are Saturday nights, January 11th and 18th, and Tuesday
nights, January 14th and 21st. All performances begin at 8:30 pm.
There is a $15 cover and $12 food/drink minimum.
Mr. Miller was born in
the Bronx and raised on Long Island where he received his BFA in acting
at Adelphi University. Jeffrey suppressed his desires to perform in
favor of weekly paychecks at his uncle's Manhattan hair salon. Not
content with merely shearing the heads of his Tony and Oscar-winning
clients, Jeffrey found occasional opportunities to get up and sing
at corporate industrials and weddings. One of Jeffrey's clients, a
mover and shaker at the Metropolitan Opera, suggested that Jeffrey
immerse himself in the classical genre after listening to one of Jeffrey's
performances on tape. Jeffrey took his advice and soon found himself
singing roles in productions of THE MAGIC FLUTE and PRINCESS IDA,
and workshops of MANON, DON GIOVANNI, FIDELIO and FAUST.
While still wielding a
blow dryer during the day, Jeffrey took the plunge and produced his
first CD, appropriately entitled "Jeffrey," a mix of classical opera
arias and Broadway standards. It brought his music to hundreds of
his clients and executives at Atlantic and Sony Classics who were
most impressed with Jeffrey's wide repertoire. The fans at OutVoice.com
put the CD at #1 in their weekly top-ten listing, and WAZR, based
in Washington, DC, devoted an entire afternoon program to "Jeffrey."
