JOAN CURTO, CHICAGO SINGER, MAKES HER NEW YORK DEBUT AT JUDY'S CHELSEA

SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WTC DISASTER - WILL BE RESCHEDULED

Chicago based singer and actress Joan Curto will be making her New York debut, with her critically acclaimed cabaret show "Unexpressed?" at JUDY'S CHELSEA (169 Eighth Avenue, NYC - 212-929-5410 - http://www.judyschelsea.com/) on Wednesday, September 12th and Friday, September 14th, both shows at 8:30 pm.

Musical Direction is by Dan Stetzel, also from Chicago. Chicago audiences and critics have been unanimous in praising Joan's current show. It is an eclectic collection of songs featuring great composers from both the American Songbook and contemporary music. Songs featured range from the 1937 song "I Double Dare You," to Amanda McBroom's touching "Putting Things Away." Other highlights include songs by Julie Gold, Kurt Weill, Susan Werner, Carol Hall and the beautiful title song "Unexpressed" by John Bucchino. The show is directed by Ron Cohn.

Joan is quickly establishing herself as a top cabaret performer in Chicago. She performs regularly at DAVENPORT'S (1383 North Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, IL - 773-278-1830 - http://www.davenportspianobar.com/), and this past year performed in a special ASCAP concert in conjunction with the Chicago Humanities Festival with Amanda McBroom, Stephen Schwartz, Craig Carnelia, Babbie Green, Steven Lutvak, David Friedman and several other Chicago based performers. In addition Joan was selected last summer to attend the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center Cabaret Symposium in Waterford Connecticut where she studied with master teachers Julie Wilson, Margaret Whiting, Carol Hall, Sally Mayes and other top performers.

Chicago audiences have enjoyed Joan in many theater performances over the years. She has appeared in the lead roles of SOUTH PACIFIC, THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG, BABY, FOLLIES, JERRY'S GIRLS and has been a part of many benefit concerts for Season of Concern.

Although a long time resident of Chicago, Joan was born in Philadelphia, and spent her teen years in Stamford, Connecticut. "Coming to New York, feels like coming home!"
