BISTRO Award and ENCORE Taking-Off Award-winning actress, comedienne, and chanteuse Karen Murphy transports you to the sophisticated era of big bands and ballrooms, starring in Torch Goddess.
In Torch Goddess, Karen Murphy recaptures the smoldering sexiness of a time when torch songs topped the Hit Parade and romance was celebrated with stolen glances by candlelight. Resplendent in a sparkling, strapless, midnight blue gown, Karen Murphy portrays the ultimate Torch Goddess. Backed by Jay Leonhart on bass, James Musto on drums/percussion and Fred Barton on keyboard, Ms. Murphy offers exciting arrangements of timeless classics such as "Stranger In Paradise," "Occasional Man," "Cry Me a River," and "Steam Heat." A compact one-hour musical tribute, Torch Goddess is for anyone who ever fell (or dreams of falling) in love.
Versatile New York actress Karen Murphy returns to the cabaret stage following her recent Taking Off Award-winning and critically-acclaimed performance in the musical spoof "Zombie Prom." ABC television proclaimed that Ms. Murphy "...invites and deserves comparisons to Carol Burnett," and The Daily News heralded that "Murphy steals the show, belting and camping as the zany principal." As Ms. Murphy brings her formidable talents to the fore in Torch Goddess, theatre, music, and cabaret lovers will discover why Back Stage calls her "a dazzling performer of exceptional talent" and The Boston Globe hails her "broad range of talent and musical styles...magnetic stage presence...brassy self-confidence mellowed by...humor."
This production reunites Karen Murphy, Fred Barton, and Mike Oster, the three having collaborated previously at Don't Tell Mama on Murphy's BISTRO Award-winning New York City cabaret debut, acclaimed by Back Stage as "refreshingly original, beautifully structured, and graced by her fantastic voice." Karen Murphy's additional New York cabaret credits include appearances at Rainbow & Stars with Martin Charnin and Steve Ross.
