Grabianowski Returns to Metropolitan Room, 10/29, 11/3 &18

2010 MAC and Bistro award winner DANIELLE GRABIANOWSKI returns to the Metropolitan Room in her new show, "THE GIRL WITH THE LONG LAST NAME" October 28, November 3 and November 18.  In her follow up show, Ms. Grabianowski presents music from composers such as Romberg and Hammerstein II ("When I Grow Too Old to Dream"), Radiohead ("Creep") and Neil Diamond and Alan & Marilyn Bergman ("You Don't Bring Me Flowers") along with little known gems from the Great American Songbook and beyond.  The show is directed by Lennie Watts and features Nate Buccieri on Piano and Sean Harkness on Guitar.

Singer and actress, Danielle Grabianowski has been described as "one of those performers who can remind a listener of many predecessors yet instantly seems newly-minted, someone you haven't seen before," by The Huffington Post, "a complete original" by Edge New York and "an uncommon and uncommonly good actress" by BistroAwards.com.  According to the Village Voice, "Danielle is cute as a silent film girl-next-door and talented as the likes of Bette Midler and Kristen Chenoweth."  She has been noted for her "captivating sound and disarming manner" by NitelifeExchange.com and "arresting quality" by TalkinBroadway.com.

After placing second in the Metropolitan Room's Metrostar Talent challenge Danielle made her solo debut in "Old, New, Borrowed and Blues" - a collection of "old" songs from the Great American Songbook, "new" songs from the likes of Regina Spektor and Ray LaMongagne and the "blues."  The show won the 2010 MAC award for outstanding female debut and the Bistro's Ira Eaker Special Achievement Award given to a "Star on the Rise."

In 2008 Danielle won the first ever 1930's Idol competition and has performed with various theater companies around the country including the Georgia Shakespeare Festival, Bakerloo Theatre Project and Bigfork Summer Playhouse as well as in various readings and workshops of new musicals and plays in New York City.  Her favorite stage roles include Thea in Fiorello, the Porter in Macbeth, Fiona in Brigadoon and Angelique in the Imaginary Invalid.  For more info about Danielle visit www.daniellegrabianowski.com.
