NYC: THEN THERE'S ME - JULIE D'MOURE AT THE DUPLEX
Julie D'Moure will bring her show 'Then There's Me' to THE DUPLEX CABARET THEATRE (61 Christopher Street, NYC - 212-255-5438) on Saturday, February 21st at 7:00 pm. Julie has been singing up a storm in Brooklyn and Manhattan for four years. Born and raised in Massachusetts, she earned her B.A. in Theatre from Gordon College, and worked professionally in Massachusetts for a few years before moving to NYC to try her luck here. Her love of musical theatre was instilled in her by her mother from a very young age in the form of Rodgers and Hammerstein records, and her refusal to do anything that anyone else might also be doing comes from her father and older sister. So with her strange puritan grit, her mix of conservative and rebellion, comes this collection of songs, straight from her tough, nerdy little heart. There is a $10 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
