KT Sullivan Returns to Perform at Bob Egan's New Hope 4/2

Acclaimed singer, Broadway star and cabaret favorite KT Sullivan returns to perform at Bob Egan's New Hope on Saturday, April 2, with her new show, "Colored Lights." Sullivan will present one show at 8:30 pm.

When Sullivan debuted "Colored Lights" (under the name "Autumn in New York") critics were unanimous in their praise. Stephen Holden of "The New York Times" said her show was "a thrill ride"-calling Sullivan "a sexy, wide-eyed comedian with a semi-operatic voice that is in the best shape I can remember."

Sine 1992, Sullivan has been a regular headliner at the Oak Room of New York's Algonquin Hotel. Recently, she was a guest star on Garrison Keillor's " Prairie Home Companion." Sullivan has been spotlighted frequently at Carnegie Hall, Town Hall and Lincoln Center and has also performed at Caramoor, Spoleto, The New York Historical Society, La Nouvelle Eve in Paris, Chichester in the U.K. and multiple times at the Adelaide Festival in Australia.

Sullivan's Broadway credits include "Three Penny Opera" with Sting, the play "Broadway" and the leading role in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." Off-Broadway, she has appeared in "Splendora", "A My Name is Still Alice", and with Mark Nadler she wrote and starred Off-Broadway in "American Rhapsody: George Gershwin to the World," for which they received Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel nominations and won the MAC Award for Best Musical Revue.

Sullivan made her West End debut in her bi-lingual show, "Vienna to Weimar", at London's Jermyn Street Theatre in 2004 and has returned yearly in performances ranging from Noel Coward to Comden & Green. Sullivan has seven albums in worldwide distribution on the DRG label. Two new CDs have been recorded with Mark Nadler, "A Swell Party: RSVP Cole Porter" and "Always: The Love Story of Irving Berlin", which won the Nightlife Award for Best Musical Revue. Sullivan's regional theatre credits are Hartford Stage, Missouri Rep, Muni Opera, Old Globe Theatre, Goodspeed Opera, Paper Mill Playhouse and The Great Lakes Theatre Festival while her TV includes "Police Squad", "Hardcastle & McCormick", "Night Court", "Remington Steel", "Cabaret 13" with Michael Feinstein, and "In Performance at the White House", with Mary Martin.
