Joining cabaret icon Marilyn Maye with four nominations is budding star Carole J.

BWW Reviews: Stunning Lyn Stanley Makes Cabaret Debut @ Sterling's
by Don Grigware
- Nov 28, 2011
On Sunday November 27, vivacious Lyn Stanley made her much anticipated cabaret debut @ Sterling's Upstairs @ Vitello's to an enthusiastic crowd. Stanley is a champion ballroom dancer, who at the advice of musician Paul T. Smith, made a dynamic transition to singing. Stanley has just the right style for night club work. Not unlike Peggy Lee, she is sensuously alluring, and when she performs numbers like 'Fever' or 'Do Right', Lee's first big hit, she really hits the mark. It's her emphasis on the lyrics that truly gives her delivery its flair.
