A Cockeyed Optimist to Kander & Ebb's gorgeous cut song from The Act,

Descended from White Russian nobility and the granddaughter
of a general in the Imperial Guards, Milla grew up a country girl
in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. She studied at The Peabody
Conservatory of Music, The Juilliard School (in its Professional Studies
Program), as well as at the prestigious Acad¯mi“ Ravel in France under
the watchful eyes of Alice Tully and Phillippe Entremont. Milla has
performed in opera and in concerts throughout the U.S., France and
Japan, and has devoted herself professionally to cabaret since 1992
when she debuted at Danny's Skylight Room in "An Earful of Music."
In 1999 she began performing her critically acclaimed
show "Hidden Voices" (with musical director Jeffrey Chappell) at Don't
Tell Mama where it was extended several times. The show, featuring
an intriguing collection of songs sung anonymously on screen and lip-synced
by the stars, reprised at Danny's in February 2000. Her next show,
"Do Re Milla," premiered at Dillon's Supper Club and Cabaret in 2003
and was reprised twice in 2004, first at the Iridium Jazz Club and
then, in an unplugged version, as part of the first Midtown Cabaret
Festival of Stars.
In September 2004 Milla appeared in the first "Broadway
Unplugged" concert at Town Hall, which exists in recording. "Taking
a Chance on Love" is Milla's third enterprise with musical director
Paul Trueblood and director Margery Beddow.The show premiered at the
much-missed The Encore in October 2005 and was reprised and recorded
in front of a live audience at Danny's Skylight Room Cabaret on Valentine's
Day 2006.
Milla has performed in New York at Alice Tully Hall,
The Players Club, The Lamb's Theatre, the Cabaret Convention at Town
Hall, and at Tatou and has worked with such talents as Eric Comstock,
Steve Ross and James Hammerstein.
