Open a new window

Open a new door,

Travel a new highway,

That's never been tried before....

This is the first email newsletter for the new alliance of Showtune
Productions and Nancy Cato Productions that will bring to Melbourne a
wonderful new top-shelf Cabaret series, the Sofitel Supper Club at
Melbourne's delicious Sofitel on Collins.

It is with great pride that Nancy Cato and David Hawkins have finally joined
forces to present some of the best international talents available on the
Music Theatre and Cabaret stages today.  We are most grateful for the
wonderful support of Clive Scott at the Sofitel Melbourne - for without his
extraordinary support of this venture, it would not be possible.  It is also
exciting to have Martin Croft  working with us via Nancy Cato Productions
and Tania Kraus from Sydney via Showtune Productions, it is a great and
powerful team we are very fortunate to have established.

The first of the Whammies! for Melbourne is the New York Tony Award winning
funny lady of Broadway FAITH PRINCE,  who will present her hit show A Leap
Of Faith direct from New York. She will have you in the palm of her hand in
this stylish intimate cabaret space in one of Melbourne's best hotels. 

Do come along and enjoy the talent, the service and a good old fashioned
stylish night on Collins Street. We have a plethora of artists ready to come
to the Sofitel Supper Club and we shall, at this stage be presenting an
artist every two months.

If you know anyone who would like to receive our email newsletters, please
send an email to melbournelist at showtune.com.au and we shall place them on
the list.

We look forward to seeing you all at the new Sofitel Supper Club

And as Betty Hutton would say - 'Charmed!'

NEW YORK TONY AWARD WINNER

FAITH PRINCE 

In

A LEAP OF FAITH

Faith Prince, in 1992, became the toast of Broadway with her Tony-winning
turn as the perennially unwed "Miss Adelaide" in GUYS AND DOLLS. She also
won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics' Circle awards for this performance. Ms
Prince has been nominated for two other Tonys for best actress for BELLS ARE
RINGING and Jerome Robbins' BROADWAY. Faith Prince's other Broadway
appearances include "Anna" in the Tony Award winning GFO/SEL revival of THE
KING AND I, LITTLE ME, NICK AND NORA, and Off Broadway MARCH OF THE
FALSETTOS and FALSETTOLAND. 

THIS IS THE REAL THING! - a master class in the art of music theatre! Ms
Prince will have you spellbound with the genius of her characters' depth and
hilarity.

Faith's unique comedy and timing have seen her recently move to the screen
both large and small. She can be seen in Showtime's critically acclaimed
series HUFF as "Kelly Knipers". She can also be seen in the upcoming films
OUR VERY OWN with Allison Janney and Cheryl Hines, and opposite Hilary and
Haily Duff in MATERIAL GIRLS. On Television, Prince appeared in JUST FOR THE
RECORD: THE MAKING OF THE GUYS AND DOLLS CAST RECORDING with Nathan Lane and
MY FAVORITE BROADWAY: THE LEADING LADIES (both shown on the ABC Australia).
Ms. Prince returned for five seasons on SPIN CITY and in critically
acclaimed NOW AND AGAIN. Other television appearances include LAW AND ORDER
and WELCOME TO NEW YORK and she can be seen this season in episodes of
medical drama HOUSE and  MONK. 

Faith made her award-winning cabaret debut at Joe's Pub in New York and
released a live recording A LEAP OF FAITH with DRG Records. 

This is the magical show she will be presenting in Australia with the
extraordinary ALEX RYBECK from New York on the piano and Australia's EMILE
NELSON on Bass.
