During one of her live performances, Naylor has no problem singing smoky jazz one minute and folk-rock or adult alternative the next - and there are times when she blurs the line between the two.

As always, Tony will have some exciting new material of his own, and a few wonderful surprises to share with the audience. There is a $30-$45 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.

NYC: ANITA GILLETTE & PENNY FULLER AT 54 BELOW

Two beloved Tony-nominated Broadway actresses, Anita Gillette & Penny Fuller, join forces for a delectable evening of humorous reflection and harmonious song in Sin Twisters, at 54 BELOW (254 West 54th Street, NYC - 646-476-3551) on Wednesdays, October 2nd & 9th at 9:30 pm. Sin Twisters is a show with a devilish spoonerism of a title. On the streets of Manhattan and Los Angeles, these vibrant and savvy veterans of over two dozen Broadway productions, as well as countless films and television shows, are constantly being mistaken for each other, although one is at least three inches taller, and one is a blonde and the other, a redhead. Yet, during their respective careers, they have both tackled some of the same parts, including the plum role of Sally Bowles in the original Broadway production of Cabaret. Sin Twisters joyfully celebrates these similarities but also gives full voice to these two remarkable performers' differences as artists and as women. This show is a must for anyone who loves theater lore and cherishes the enduring bonds of friendship. There is a $35-$45 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
