Chanteuse, a musical written by Austin native Louise Richardson, will make its Austin debut in January of 2012 at the City Theatre, 3823 Airport Boulevard, Suite D.
In Chanteuse two young women from Texas, Johanna Clarke and Darcy Bailey, go to New York's Greenwich Village to be folk singers in 1959. They are first hired by Sidney Feldman, a former blacklisted comic, who owns The Colloquy Coffeehouse. Chanteuse follows the careers and friendships of these three through the turbulent years of the 1960s and 70s up to Darcy's return to perform at her college in 1981.
Through more than 20 memorable songs in styles ranging from traditional folk to Broadway to French cabaret, Chanteuse has the spirit of the 1960s at its core. With ASCAPlus-Award-winning music by Louise Richardson and the brilliant arrangements and playing of Richard Paul Thomas on guitar, Nelda Milligan and Tyler Mabry on piano and the singing talents of our wonderful cast, Kelly Connaughton, Danica McKinney and Timothy McKinney, Chanteuse will captivate you. Our songs will stay in your mind long after you leave the theatre.
The CD "Songs from Chanteuse" is available at Waterloo Records and Book Woman in Austin, Texas or it can be ordered from richard@tbcinternational.com.
Cast: Timothy McKinney as Sid, Danica McKinney as Darcy, Kelly Connaughton as Johanna.
