MAKIN' WHOOPEE To Premiere At Arthur Newman Theatre 10/30

Lyn Stanley, noted for her beautiful voice, emotional lyric interpretations and glamorous stage presence, will bring her new show, "Makin' Whoopee" to the Arthur Newman Theatre at the Joslyn Center on Sunday, October 30, 2011 at a 2 PM performance. Ms. Stanley's show will highlight her life as a competitive Pro/Am ballroom dance champion through stories and songs with the help of her musical director, Bill Schneider. Bill Schneider is known for his work with singers such as, Madonna, Bette Midler, Janis Paige, Nancy Dussault, and Karen Marrow. Karen Marrow is also the show's creative consultant and Sharon McNight is the show's director.

To help transition from her unique background as a competitive ballroom dancer to the world of cabaret, Lyn Stanley auditioned for, and was one of the few selected to attend the prestigious International Cabaret Conference at Yale University in 2011. It was there that the staff recognized as her as the "2011 Cabaret Star Of Tomorrow". Notables at Yale such as Julie Wilson describe Lyn as a "great performer" destined to be a star, while Erv Raible, co-founder of the MAC Awards, called Lyn "a great storyteller".

First discovered by jazz legend, Paul T. Smith and his wife, singer and vocal instructor, Annette Warren, Ms. Stanley made her singing debut with the Paul Smith Trio in February 2011. Lyn is currently studying voice with Marge Rivingston, who's coached Bette Midler, Linda Ronstadt, and Maureen McGovern. Lyn is also learning jazz vocal interpretation from Tamir Hendelman, who recently accompanied Barbra Streisand for a PBS special in New York City.
