) presents the return of Bistro and two-time MAC Award winner Brandon
Cutrell on Monday, June 4th at 8:30 pm. He will be celebrating the
release of his new self titled CD, including an eclectic mix of the
brash and new, as well as innovative arrangements of several treasured
compositions. The show is directed by Phil Geoffrey Bond.
Brandon Cutrell, the MAC Award and Bistro Award winner,
is co-host of The After Party, the wildly popular, weekly Friday
night musical theatre "schmoozefest" at THE LAURIE BEECHMAN THEATRE
on 42nd Street in New York. His new CD includes tracks ranging from
a haunting rendition of the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein classic,
"All the Things You Are," to the inventive rhythm of Billy Joel's
"Summer, Highland Falls". Brandon's CD also celebrates many of the
brightest new composers writing today, including Michael Holland's
"Firefly IX," celebrating the joys of Fire Island, and Tim DiPasqua's
"You," which has become Cutrell's signature song.
Brandon made his entrance on the New York cabaret
stage in the 2001 show It's an Art: The Music of Stephen Schwartz
(with Stephen Schwartz). Other New York credits: Broadway By The
Year (Town Hall, directed by Emily Skinner), The 2nd Annual Broadway
Unplugged (Town Hall), Pippin (with Ben Vereen and Rosie O'Donnell),

Nationally, Brandon has performed with Theatre of the Stars, Goodspeed
Musicals, the Human Race Theatre, and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.
Brandon's solo cabaret debut, entitled, was honored by TheaterMania
as the best debut show of 2002 and by MAC (Manhattan Association
of Cabarets), which honored Brandon in 2003 with the MAC Award for
