This astonishingly talented, Broadway-influenced performer has garnered raves around the world. Hadar's love for The Great American Songbook, her appreciation for new songwriting, and her fascination with world cultures influence her music. Lua's style as a vocalist has been molded by exchange experiences in places as diverse as Bali, Russia, Switzerland, Japan, Thailand and Italy. Her interest in world cultures is reflected in the sophisticated song choices for TWIST.

As a young actress, she did everything from delivering singing telegrams dressed as a gorilla to appearing in Off Broadway shows. Her love for languages led to a 5-year residency in Italy, with a Verona-based Italian theatre company, where she played hundreds of performances on tour in Spain, Switzerland and all over Italy. Her company, New Performance Group, produces original material and music performances, and instruction in the performing arts. She has recorded four CD's, most recently her new CD, Lua Hadar with TWIST,Lua has often appeared in musical theatre in the San Francisco Bay Area, with companies such as 42nd Street Moon, The Exit Theater and Theatreworks.Nightlife/Cabaret listings:WHO: Lua Hadar with TWIST in "French Connection"
