TONIGHT ONLY IN NYC: CHERYL ANN ALLEN IN SOPHIE TUCKER IN PERSON
Cheryl Ann Allen brings to life the music, humor and drama of one of the greatest stars in show business "Sophie Tucker" in Sophie Tucker in Person at DON'T TELL MAMA (343 West 46th Street, NYC - 212-757-0788) on Thursday, May 16th at 7:00 pm. From the Vaudeville era to the Ed Sullivan Show, Ms. Tucker will be brought back to the stage through her great music and anecdotes of her life. Ms. Tucker is accompanied by her pianist and confidant Mr. Ted Shapiro. Sophie Tucker immigrated to the United States and settled with her family in Hartford, Connecticut, where she helped out at her parents' kosher diner and rooming house. Surrounded by theater performers at a young age, Tucker began singing for her customers. After a failed marriage, Tucker moved to New York and got a vaudeville job. First performing in blackface, she soon began singing the songs that made her famous, including "Some of These Days" and "My Yiddishe Momma," throughout the world. She performed in several films in the 1930s and 1940s. Tucker challenged stereotypes of age, size and gender and one historian has labeled her a feminist of pop culture. There is a $15 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
