Janice McCune was born to sing! In her early years in Connecticut, McCune went from church and school choirs to community musical theater and weekly jazz jams. In NYC, from 2007-2017, she performed in group shows at Don't Tell Mama and The Duplex via Helen Baldassare's Cabaret Performance Workshop. In 2018, she was a finalist in the 5th Annual Tomatoes Got Talent at Triad Theater, produced by The Three Tomatoes, a digital lifestyle magazine for “women who aren't kids.” In 2022, she was a Cabaret Fellow at Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and began performing with Singnasium's Cab Lab. In addition to multiple group shows in NYC, McCune has performed at The Buttonwood Tree in Middletown, CT, with the Dave Sergio Jazz Trio, and at Act2PV in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with the Fiesta De Cabaret Workshop. Following the debut of Let's Start Tomorrow Tonight!, in Spring 2025, Janice was a contestant in Mama's Next Big Act contest at Don't Tell Mama and made it through week 7 of the 8 week contest.
