Terri Dannenberg returns to the spotlight in an encore performance of her solo cabaret debut, Everything!, at Don’t Tell Mama, directed by Lina Koutrakos with musical direction and arrangements by Gregory Toroian. Whether interpreting a song with quiet intimacy or bringing down the house with energy, Terri’s performances reflect her love of story and her belief that music has the power to bring people closer together. Everything! premiered to a sold-out crowd on October 18 at Don’t Tell Mama, followed by two more sold-out performances on November 9 and December 6.

“Script?  Perfect.  Band?  Perfect.  Storytelling skills?  Perfect. Charm factor?  Perfect.  The play and the player are an absolute delight.  This is one of the most fulfilling debut shows a person could hope to see, that this person has come to see, and that’s the truth.” ~ Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld
