Step behind the velvet curtain with "Chanteuse," a celebration of the glamorous torch singers, thrilling jazz singers, and fiery red hot mamas who lit up the iconic nightclubs of yesteryear. Nineteen-year-old Barbra Streisand raising audiences' eyebrows and ears at The Bon Soir. Judy Garland making her legendary final run at London's Talk of the Town. Bette Midler giving sass and steam at the Ansonia Baths. Paris audiences discovering their "little sparrow," Edith Piaf at Le Gerny. Eartha Kitt purring through her sets at Cafe Carlye. Alberta Hunter serving double entendres and heartbreak at Chicago's Dreamland Cafe. Sophie Tucker shaking the rafters at her own nightclub, Sophie Tucker's Playground. Ella singin' and swingin' her "Twelve Nights in Hollywood" at L.A.'s Crescendo Club. Chanteuse invites audiences to revel in the nostalgia, savor the drama, and rediscover the women that left their lipstick marks on the soundtracks of our nights. Bio: Carole J.
