Todd Almond to Perform Songs from 'MEXICO CITY' at the Zipper Oct. 20
Todd Almond to celebrate the release of his new CD, MEXICO CITY.
Todd Almond is one of the most sought-after songwriters in NYC. Yale Rep recently commissioned him to write two musicals, and in the past year some of the theater world's greatest singers including Laura Benanti, Victoria Clark, Michael Arden, Jayne Houdyshell, and Cheyenne Jackson have performed his music. Almond is currently collaborating with Adam Bock, Marcus Gardley, and Lear deBessonet, and this summer he composed music for a short film by Will Eno. As a performer, Almond has been wowing audiences with his inventive and always-surprising live shows. Also known for his radical interpretations of classic musicals (HAIR and the upcoming OLIVER), Almond's work as a musical director includes Michael John LaChiusa's TRES NINAS and Mitu's AHRAIHSAK. He has been in residence at the Sundance Theatre Lab, Vassar (NYTW), and was a composer in the inaugural 24 HOUR MUSICALS.
MEXICO CITY is Almond's newest recording of original songs. A minimal and intimate collection, MEXICO CITY features 10 new songs including "The Fire," "Oh, Sean," and the acclaimed "The Margin." For the release concert, Almond will perform with his stellar band and, as usual, a thrilling special guest or two.
