Jeremy Sussman: From No Business to Show Business at Don't Tell Mama

An encore performance of a show about a man who endures the trappings of a desk-bound attorney so he can fantasize about and then pursue his love of performing. But he’ll still consult.

Jeremy Sussman returns to Don't Tell Mama in an encore performance of From No Business to Show Business. Through lesser-known and quirky novelty songs, as well as the standards of Rodgers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, Van Heusen and Burke, Adler and Ross, Cahn and Styne, Harold Rome and others, Sussman, an offbeat and captivating performer (usually in a hat), tells the story of how he charmed (mollified?) his parents by earning a law degree while privately pursuing his love of performing and piano-playing on the side. For Sussman, No Business is anything that is not Show Business. Directed by Geoff Stoner, with musical director Gregory Toroian on piano, Skip Ward on bass, and David Silliman on drums. From No Business to Show Business premiered at Don’t Tell Mama on September 28, followed by performances on October 9 and 21.

“Jeremy Sussman loves old and obscure songs and shares that passion with his audiences with charm and enthusiasm.” ~ Cabaret Scenes

“The self-described ‘recovering contract attorney’ clearly got so much joy from sharing his story that the audience couldn’t help but be drawn in.” ~ NiteLife Exchange
