Judy Kuhn to Perform The Songs of Laura Nyro in Oct.

On four Mondays in October - Oct. 1, Oct. 8, Oct. 15 and Oct. 22 - Judy Kuhn will perform "Serious Playground:  The Songs of Laura Nyro" at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St.).

"Three-time Tony Nominee Judy Kuhn returns to Joe's Pub backed by an eight-piece band, celebrating the release of her new CD focusing on the songs of Laura Nyro, one of the pioneering singer-song writers of the 60s and 70's. The show, which debuted to a sold out house at Lincoln Center's American Songbook Series in January, includes several of Nyro's biggest hits ('Stoned Soul Picnic,' 'Stoney End') as well as some of her lesser-known gems. Judy has appeared in numerous plays and musicals on and off Broadway including Les Miserables, Chess and Eli's Comin' at Vineyard Theatre. She is the singing voice of Disney's Pocahontas and co-starred in the upcoming film The Day on Fire for which she also performed the soundtrack," state press notes.

The show is at 7:00pm and tickets are $30.  Visit www.joespub.com for more information.
