AUSTRALIA'S CHELSEA PLUMLEY COMES ASHORE TO DON'T TELL MAMA IN NOVEMBER


Musical comedy actress Chelsea Plumley will make her New York debut in her one-woman show "Chelsea Plumley Æ Angel in Training," at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788 - http://www.donttellmama.com/) on November 2nd. Ms. Plumley is accompanied on piano by her Musical Director David Young. The show will play Fridays at 9:00 pm, Saturdays at 8:00 pm and Sundays at 6:00 pm beginning on November 2nd with performances through November 11th. Tickets to the show are $15.00 with a two drink minimum.

Taking a break from the Australian national tour of "GREASE," where her portrayal of the tough Rizzo has been singled out as "stunning" (The Australian), Ms. Plumley's show will be a mix of original and specially written material by Australian composer David Young, standards and a selection of lesser known gems including works by Leo Sayer, Peter Allen and Kander & Ebb.

Since graduating from WAAPA (West Australian Academy of Performing Arts) in 1994 with a degree in Musical Theatre, she has been steadily working in the theatre throughout her native Australia and abroad. Most recently Chelsea has been receiving rave reviews as Rizzo in the Australian touring company of GREASE, where she has been singled out as giving a performance that is both "stunning" and of "admirable oomph and empathy." Other credits include a national tour of her one-woman show "Chelsea Plumley in Concert," with performances at The Playhouse Theatre in Perth, The Studio Theatre, Sydney Opera House and The Ensemble Theatre. She also toured in "Tim Rice's Concert Spectacular," and appeared in Terrence McNally's play "Master Class," and Kander and Ebb's "And The World Goes Round."

In 1996 Chelsea toured Taiwan, Singapore and Jakarta in a one-woman show for Walt Disney accompanying herself on piano. In 1996/1997 Chelsea performed with the cabaret group Combo Fiasco with fellow Australians Tony McGill and Shaun Murphy. She is an experienced repetiteur having worked with the Western Australian Conservatorium, WAAPA and the corporate group The Three Waiters. Chelsea has also booked, produced, hosted, accompanied and performed at a cabaret/jazz venue in Sydney called Side on Cafœ.
