Hotel Nikko San Francisco and Michael Feinstein are thrilled to welcome actress and singer Joan Ryan, who boasts an impressive four octave range, for her long-awaited return to the San Francisco cabaret stage with her self-titled show Joan Ryan, LIVE!, written and directed by Andrew MacBean (Associate Director with Trevor Nunn on Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love and Sunset Boulevard) and musical direction from Todd Schroeder (musical director for Sam Harris, Jason Alexander), on Thursday January 23, 2014 at 8 p.m. at Feinstein's At The Nikko (222 Mason Street) in San Francisco. Tickets for Joan Ryan range in price from $30-$40 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Ms. Ryan, who is currently receiving both critical and audience praise in hit indie film "Hot Guys With Guns," has been called "a mesmerizing performer who moves smoothly from larger-than-life drama to small, captivating emotional moments," by the Los Angeles Times. Rex Reed, of the New York Observer, said "she can explore the nuances of a piercing ballad with the investigative talent of a forensic expert, then ignite a show stopping Broadway melody with the combustion of a freight locomotive on the Philadelphia Railroad." Her stage credits include the original LA cast of the musical Ruthless!, the West Coast premiere of Anyone Can Whistle, Footloose, Triumph of Love, Little Shop of Horrors, among others.

Known for her recurring role as Tina Pallodrino, the crazy music and arts teacher on the long-running series, "Saved By the Bell," Ryan has appeared on-screen in numerous television shows and movies including two years as Kathleen Houghton, everyone's favorite psychiatrist on "The Young and the Restless."

Layered with fiercely rich vocals and an innate sense of humor and frank wisdom, Joan Ryan, LIVE! is a musical journey through the life and eclectic career of "consummate performer" Joan Ryan.
