Venue: Westport Senior Center – 21 Imperial Avenue, Westport, CT
CULVER CASSON ….. 6PM – 6:45PM, 7PM – 7:30PM
Culver Casson’s delightful show has a New York orientation; its working title is “Wishful Thinking” and it includes songs old and new, a good dose of Broadway and some classics – in short, a smattering of many styles. Some composers are recognizable names, some are NY based, there are those long gone while others are known to Culver. But their songs tell the story of the hopes and wishes of a girl new to the city who eventually makes her dreams come true. You’ll leave the show wishfully thinking for more.
LESLIE OROFINO ……. 8PM – 9PM
Acclaimed Westport vocalist, Leslie Orofino, consistently attracts sold-out audiences wherever she performs. Her cabaret stage performances have received major accolades from critics and audiences. At tonight’s show “Let’s Misbehave” Leslie will be accompanied by Keith Graham on piano.
JODI KEOGAN ……. 9:30 – 10:15PM, 10:30 – 11:00PM
Jodi Keogan, the internationally acclaimed soprano who dazzled us in 2002 and 2003, is returning with her unique show and her bigger-than-ever voice. This songstress will perform toe tapping, thought provoking tunes that will take you down memory lane. Think Judy Garland and Big Band, and a hint of Neapolitan melodies. Since Jodi last performed at First Night, she has landed lead roles in Italian opera houses and continues to pursue her professional music career both here and abroad.
