Not an impersonator and not an impressionist, Blackhurst offers a paean to the great Broadway legend that serves as a potent and happy reminder of Merman's sheer, undeniable importance to both the history of twentieth century entertainment and the iconic composers like Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and Jerry Herman, who wrote songs just for her. Everything The Traffic Will Allow took New York by storm in 2001. Both Broadway aficionados and newcomers to the American musical found Klea to be the most informed and engaging tour guide to the life and work of Ethel Merman imaginable. Klea continues to charm audiences around the country. Accompanied by the Pocket Change Trio, led by Michael Rice, Klea Blackhurst brings bright new interpretations of Merman's signature songs such as "I Got Rhythm," "Everything's Coming Up Roses" and "There's No Business Like Show Business," as well as rarely-performed obscurities including "Just A Moment Ago," "I've Still Got My Health," and "World Take Me Back." Klea Blackhurst has received accolades for her award-winning tribute to Ethel Merman, Everything the Traffic Will Allow. Her other acclaimed shows are Autumn in New York: Vernon Duke's Broadway and Dreaming of a Song: The Music of Hoagy Carmichael, in collaboration with Billy Stritch. All are available on the Ghostlight Records label. She is currently working on a new musical based on the iconic maid Hazel, with music by Ron Abel and lyrics by Chuck Steffan. It is being directed by Lucie Arnaz. This past December Klea appeared with Billy Stritch and Jim Caruso in "A Swinging Birdland Christmas" for the fifth year in a row; a live CD of the show is available.
