BILL McKINLEY IN "DON'T TELL WALT: AN ANIMATED EVENING OF ADULT MUSIC" AT DON'T TELL MAMA

Singer Bill McKinley will present his show "Don't Tell Walt: An Animated Evening of Adult Music" at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/). A Press Preview is September 7th, Friday at 6:30 pm and will benefit The Actor's Fund; with shows continuing September 8th, 15th, 29th and October 6th & 13th, Saturdays at 8:00 pm. The show is directed by Morgan Rice, with music direction by Christopher Marlowe. There will be a $15.00 music charge, $20.00 for the opening night benefit, and a 2-drink minimum, no credit cards.

McKinley, known for his popular solo concerts and his critically acclaimed recordings ("Everything Possible" & "The Closing of thee Year") mixes his life-long love of Disney music, as well as his background singing in their animated films, with his well known brand of zany humor for a mix of songs and stories that both warm the heart and tickle the funnybone. Musical numbers come from the scores of the classic films "Snow White," "Pinocchio," "Mary Poppins" and "Cinderella" to "The Little Mermaid" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," and will include more obscure tunes from the Disney theme parks and television shows. This show, originally commissioned by THE EGG (Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY - 518-473-1845) premiered in March in Los Angeles at THE GARDENIA (7066 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood, CA - 323-467-7444).

Bill can be heard as a featured vocalist on numerous Broadway show demos; as a singer and voice-over artist in the animated Disney films "Mulan" and "Pocahontas"; and in hundreds of national and regional commercials including McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Subway, Pizza Hut and Wendy's, to name a few. His recent theater credits include ANNIE with Joanne Worley, KISS ME, KATE with Judy Kaye, and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with Lainie Kazan. His two favorite roles have been the Headwaiter in SHE LOVES ME, and the title role in LEND ME A TENOR.

Last summer, Bill sang a duet with Kathie Lee Gifford during her final live concert with Regis Philbin. As a singer and activist Bill continues to make appearances on behalf of human rights and AIDS related causes, having most recently performed at the GALA V Festival in Tampa and SRO performances with Kate Clinton and the Seattle Men's Chorus. He had the honor of being chosen to sing on the steps of our nation's capitol for the National Candlelight Vigil for Matthew Shepherd. Bill's film credits include "Brighton Beach Memoirs" and "Radio Days" and television's "The Equalizer."
