I'm so excited to be working with award-winning cabaret director Lennie Watts

and musical director, Steven Ray Watkins. 

​

In her cabaret debut, Cynthia sings and tells tales of growing up insecure yet optimistic, as she played piano and sang her way through life.  There was always music in her Colorado childhood where she was inspired by her jazz trombone-playing father while she sang madrigals in high school.  Then to New York, where creativity, inspiration and opportunity were all around.  Directed by Lennie Watts and musical directed by Steven Ray Watkins, Cynthia sings songs composers such as Stephen Schwartz, Maltby & Shire, Jason Robert Brown, Maury Yeston and others.
