Stacy
Lee Tilton in "Midway Point: Life's Carnival of Choices"
Stacy
Lee Tilton, a charismatic mezzo soprano with a rich and soulful voice,
combines her uncanny sense of comic timing with a conviction to plumb
the emotional depths of her characters in "Midway Point" at DANNY'S
SKYLIGHT ROOM (342 West 46th Street, NYC - 1-212-265-8133 - http://www.dannysgrandseapalace.com/)
for three performances on Monday, March 31st at 7:00 pm; Friday, April
4th at 9:15 pm; and Monday, April 7th at 7:00 pm. There is a $12 cover,
2-drink minimum.
"Midway Point" reveals
the lives of a group of women, the carousels of their patterns, the
emotional roller coasters they face and the dizzying choices available
to them in the midway. Under the direction of Thomas Mills and musical
direction of David Brunetti, Ms. Tilton will perform songs by John
Kander & Fred Ebb, Jason Robert Brown, Tom Lehrer, Alan Menken & David
Spencer, Brian Lasser, Maury Yeston, Stephen Flaherty & Lynn Ahrens,
Paula Cole, Indigo Girls and various others.
Ms. Tilton made her solo
debut with "Midway Point" at DON'T TELL MAMA in 1999 with encore engagements
in 2000 and 2001 to critical acclaim. A native of California, she
has been performing in New York City, regionally and internationally
since moving to the East Coast in 1991.
Before making her solo
debut, she has been featured in several other cabaret shows in New
York City. She has performed at The Supper Club (Reflections' "Secret
of Life"), the Green Room ("Closer Than Ever"), and DON'T TELL MAMA
("My Best To You," "B-Sides" and "Dances Without Wolves"). She made
her Broadway debut opposite Brent Barrett in the role of Jane Ashton
in New York City Opera's production of "Brigadoon" (directed by Christian
Smith). She ended the century taking home the NJ Perry Award for outstanding
leading actress in a musical for her performance as the Witch in "Into
the Woods" at the Civic Theater of Hudson County.
Ms. Tilton holds a BA
in acting and directing from California State University at Long Beach
and trained for two years at the American Musical and Dramatic Academy.
