Patti Bottino Bravo

Patti Bottino-Bravo recently retired from her day job as a speech-language pathologist for the New York City Department of Education. She was introduced to the cabaret community in the 1980’s and nominated for a MAC Award for Best Newcomer-Duo with her then singing partner, Sal Bovoso, for It Takes Two, and a solo show entitled One. She left performing when pursuing her master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology became an all-consuming endeavor. A mere twenty-seven years later, due to a chance meeting with the marvelous Marilyn Maye, Patti enrolled in a Master Class where she met Maestro Barry Levitt. Patti and Barry launched her return debut of Dream, Come True! in 2016. Patti has performed in several cabaret theaters in NYC, including Panache, Panache Encore, Jan Wallman’s, Don’t Tell Mama, The Metropolitan Room and now at the Laurie Beechman Theater. She is so grateful for her present team of performance and vocal coaches - Lina Koutrakos and Gregory Toroian.
