Jonathan Whitton's SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL Runs November 13 and 20

Jonathan Whitton (2008 Bistro & MAC Award Winner) continues the encore run of his acclaimed cabaret evening, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL, at the Laurie Beechman Theatre Thursdays, November 13 & 20 @ 7PM.

Recently celebrated for his Highline Ballroom headlining turns as Hedwig in HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, Jonathan Whitton follows up his sparkling, award-winning 2007 cabaret debut, with a fresh, ironic, and uplifting song cycle about the personal journey to find equilibrium between career, sex, and self.

Whitton most recently completed runs in the NYC Fringe Hit UNDERWEAR:
A SPACE MUSICAL and NAMT'S THE YELLOW WOOD. He will reprise his turn as Hedwig at NYC's BB Kings Blues Club on November 21.

Musical selections for SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL come from Elton John, Mandy Moore, Rufus Wainwright, & Robbie Williams, as well as current musical theatre writers John Bucchino, Mark Campbell (SONGS FROM AN UNMADE BED), Sam Carner & Derek Gregor (UNLOCK'D), Michelle Elliot & Danny Larsen (THE YELLOW WOOD), and Brett Kristofferson, amongst others.

The evening is directed by MAC Award Winner Miles Phillips. Bistro & MAC Award Winner Steven Ray Watkins serves as Musical Director.

Backstage Magazine proclaimed, "Whitton exudes talent and taste," and Cabaret Scenes dubbed him, "a performer to watch and appreciate. He has an agenda and he delivers." Barbara & Scott Siegel heralded Whitton, "a musical theater performer with considerable craft and skill at his disposal... Jonathan Whitton will, indeed go a long, long way in cabaret."

This encore engagement will mark Whitton's return to the solo cabaret stage for the first time since receiving the Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs (MAC) Award and the BackStage Magazine Bistro Award.
