LML MUSIC TO RELEASE CINDY BENSON DEBUT SOLO CD

LML Music (http://www.lmlmusic.com/) is proud to announce the release of Cindy Benson's debut solo recording OUT ON A WHIM. If you didn't see this Broadway baby bring down the house in her award winning show of the same name, here are the stats: Cindy Benson is a tiny wisp of a thing with a voice that can break your heart one moment and leave you laughing helplessly the next. She travels genres and cross-pollinates cabaret with jazz and musical theater, injecting each style with her unmistakable personality. She somehow transforms her voice to inhabit an extraordinary range of material from the stratospheric introduction of "Mr. Paganini" to a rich contralto who "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man." Listening to her sing, you can feel each mood, each expression, each smile and sigh that brings her music alive. This collection of songs is truly a journey through the whims, the woe and whimsy of one of the most talented performers today.

Cindy Benson debuts her recording after a successful tenure on the Broadway stage as both the comedic lead, Mme. Thenardier, in LES MISERABLES, and the delightful 200-pound tap-dancing Gumbie Cat, Jennyanydots, in CATS.

Off-Broadway credits include originating the role of Sister Robert Ann in NUNSENSE, as well as creating the wild and wacky Donna the Dominatrix in Paul Bartel's EATING RAOUL. She performed for PBS' GREAT PERFORMANCES at Symphony Hall in Boston, appeared with the Houston Grand Opera, and has won the MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Excellence in Musical Comedy award. She can be heard on the original cast albums of LES MISERABLES, EATING RAOUL, ALL THAT HE WAS, BILLY BARNES REVUED, and on the S.T.A.G.E. Series recording of ADLER, BOCK AND COLEMAN. Cindy was nominated for the 1998 LA Theatre Ovation Award for her role as the eccentrically winsome Hollywood Usherette in BLAME IT ON THE MOVIES at the Pasadena Playhouse. She was most recently seen at the Mark Taper Forum in THE FIRST PICTURE SHOW and in the pre-Broadway run of the Reprise! Production of MACK & MABEL.

OUT ON A WHIM, the recording, originates from Cindy's one-woman show of the same name that was written and directed by David Man and produced by HBO Workspace. The show garnered three Dramalogue Awards and continues to play around the country. OUT ON A WHIM can be purchased by visiting any major record retailer or by going to http://www.LMLmusic.com/.
