By: BWW News Desk
Heralded as "The Cabaret Queen of Chicago," by both the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, the legendary Denise Tomasello, will be making another special guest performances this month in the Chicago area. This marks one of her first concert appearances since her triumphant SRO concerts at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre and The Metropolis Performing Arts Center.
The recipient of Chicago Cabaret Professional Gold Coast Award and winner of the After Dark Award for "Outstanding Cabaret Performer," Tomasello returns to the Skokie Theatre tonight, December 18, at 8pm to celebrate the centennial of Frank Sinatra in It Was A Very Good Year.
In addition to a personal friendship with the Sinatra family, Denise has also headlined with long-time Sinatra associates legendary entertainers Don Rickles, Jackie Mason and Alan King. She has performed at many of the nation's most prestigious venues and swanky nightclubs including New York City's Town Hall and Eighty-Eight's
and the iconic Chicago Theatre. A true original, nothing compares to a performance by the exhilarating Tomasello, who is one of the most talked about and exciting performers around. With her dynamic voice, and engaging the audiences with her spontaneous, sharp, quick-witted repartee, Denise makes every performance a unique and special experience. Called a "Chicago musical institution" by the Sun-Times, WGN Radio's Rick Kogan praised Denise as "one of the city's most entertaining cabaret performers." She has performed to SRO crowds in headlining solo shows at the Park West, the legendary Pump Room, the Metropole, Gentry and George's. She has also made annual appearances at the Taste of Chicago -- the Midwest's largest music festival.
Denise Tomasello is a must-see, one of a kind, special performer. Witness first-hand why California's Orange County Register calls Denise and her one-woman concerts "the best show of its kind in the country!"
