SOME QUOTES ABOUT BB -
Award winning cabaret singer, Barbara Brussell, Roy Sander of BackStage wrote, "Barbara epitomizes the art of cabaret singing...a consummate singer/actress." Stephen Holden of the New York Times described her as, "Projecting an off-kilter blend of zaniness and pathos that suggests the unpredictable mood swings of a Renée Zellweger character, Ms. Brussell ... is a quick-change artist who injects an element of surprise into everything she sings. ... genuinely real and touching." Adding, "The California dreamer and the New York sophisticate join hands." Rex Reed, from The New York Observer, "She is real, she is tender, she is wacky...She stamps songs with a branding iron of her own authentic invention...makes you feel like youre hearing them for the first time. You'd be a fool to miss it! In a Cabaret world...Barbara Brussell is a dream come true."
What is Cabaret? It is kind of nightclub act with a theme, it could be any series of songs that fit together and weave a mood which creates its own event. Typically, a cabaret show is the work of an individual composer, accompanied by stories about that person - biographical. Or, it could be a self discovery - auto-biographical journey- with a pot pourri of songs strung tougher by a concept. But, always, where the singer and musician may explore and interpret the songs - and their stories - in an original, personalized way.
