A cabaret treasure that shines.
Described as the grand dame of Gotham cabaret Julie Wilson has been knockin’ them dead for nearly 70 years.
At 84 years old she remains a Broadway belter of the old school, who glitters and glows with stunning theatrical flair. Wilson is a singer who knows how to use her voice, her body and her sense of humour to sell a song and get it right every time.
Immortalised by Peter Allen in Quiet Please, There’s A Lady On Stage, Julie Wilson has often been described as ‘the performer’s performer’. While cultivating a style of speech-singing some of her songs, she still possesses that rare gift of drawing her listener into the depths of a lyric. Cabaret elegance and Dixieland gusto are rarely thrust onto the same stage, but Wilson pulls it off, as she does most things, with effortless grace and ageless spirit.
Accompanied by Christopher Denny
“… there are few entertainers at any age who bring such a sense of joy and exuberance to the stage.” - Cabaret Scenes
