Stars Are Born: Gaga, Barbra, Judy & Me at The Green Room 42

The Green Room 42 presents Natalie Giannosa in “Stars are Born: Gaga, Barbra, Judy, and Me” on July 10th at 9:30pm.

OCTG and BroadwayWorld award-winner Natalie Giannosa will bring her celebrated solo cabaret, “Stars are Born: Gaga, Barbra, Judy and Me” to The Green Room 42 for its New York debut, with music direction by Ben Covello. After nearly three years of performing it across the globe on cruise ships, Natalie will introduce new songs and stories to the hilarious and dazzling show that was initially deemed “too ‘New York’ for the seas.” Paying tribute to powerhouses Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, and Lady Gaga – each of whom starred in a version of A Star is Born – Natalie transforms a generic tribute show into a riotous and touching experience with her showstopping vocals, razor-sharp wit, and compelling interpretations of favorite classics. She will explore the lives and careers of these legendary women alongside her own, and she will remind you what the art of cabaret is capable of.

Natalie will be joined by NYC drag icon Pissi Myles, along with Dillon Klena (Jagged Little Pill Nat’l Tour). The show is produced and co-written by Allyson Roche.
