Sue Matsuki: ‘This Broad’s Way’

Please join Bistro, Julie Wilson and Multi-MAC Award Winning Cabaret/Jazz performing artist SUE MATSUKI in a program of all Broadway songs (Sue’s guilty pleasure.) Songs from: Wonderful Town, Damn Yankees, Dr. Dolittle, Sweeny Todd, City of Angels, Cinderella, The King & I, How to Succeed in Business, Kiss Me Kate, Wicked…and MORE! Written by Comden & Green, Bernstein, Bricusse, Sondheim, Zippel, Coleman, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Porter and MORE!

These are songs Sue would never be cast to sing, songs sung totally out of context from the show, songs with a new jazzy take, American Songbook standards that came out of a show, great songs cut from shows and other surprises all done…“This Broad’s Way”!

Matsuki has appeared at Birdland Jazz, The Iridium, The Village Gate, Feinstein’s (NY & LA), 54 Below and every cabaret in New York. She has appeared at The Metropolitan Opera and Weill Hall (Carnegie Hall) and has also appeared in venues from Connecticut, to Delaware, to Florida, to Las Vegas, to Los Angeles, to Alaska and now…LONDON!

Featuring Musical Director Mark Hartman.

One of the things (possibly THE thing) that makes Sue Matsuki so successful is her pure and unadulterated love of performing and of the audience. She is refreshingly and amazingly funny. Not only can Ms Matsuki tell stories in song, but she is also (in a word) hysterical, with asides to the band, unplanned interactions with the audience and then… there’s her voice…” – Stephen Mosher, Broadway World

“Wow, where do we start? The first things that come to mind are stage presence, connection to the audience, respect for the legacy of music, and… talent! Matsuki, known as the “Godmother of Cabaret”, has an enviable rapport with the audience. You will NEVER hear Ms Matsuki treat any lyric or musical note as a throwaway. While Sue can often be laugh-out-loud funny, she can also amazingly, in the next moment, convey that oh-so-powerful sense of melancholy”. – Jed Ryan, Lavendar Afer Dark
