Art isn’t easy: the music of Stephen Sondheim
Considered to be the foremost composer/lyricist of our time, Sondheim has been composing musicals for over five decades. His music challenges singers musically and emotionally--and Gillian and Claire are definitely up for that challenge.
Mirrors of Myself: the music of Dorothy Fields and Amanda McBroom
Two strong women performing lyrics and music of two strong lyricists. What’s not to love??? This show includes some old favorites like “The Way you look tonight” and “the Rose” and some lesser known favorites.
Reviews:
“Gillian Kelly has a special knack of delivering a ballad that will really tug at your heart strings.” - CabaretHotlineOnline
Looking for Love in all the wrong places
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, this show takes you on the roller coaster ride that we call love--including songs like the comedic “I Eat” and the wonderful “I can’t make you love me.”
Warning: Explicit Lyrics
If you like a little edge to your cabaret, then the show for you is “Explicit Lyrics.” Modern, fresh with that special twisted edge!
Reviews:
“One hell of a bawdy cabaret evening.” - Cabarethotlineonline
“Gillian Kelly is the most charismatic performer...and Claire Bigley gets in a few wisecracks.” “The only thing more delightful is sex itself.” - The Chicago Reader
Love Struck: The Songs that struck me in love!
Kelly performs some of her favorite songs and the result is a category-crossing combination of humor and sentiment interweaving jazz (including Nina Simone's arrangement of "Wild is the Wind"), country ballads, comedy songs, pop tunes (including a haunting arrangement by Ms. Bigley of "Mad World" with flute and cello, and theatre songs. Known for her ability to combine wit with warmth as well as theatricality with sincerity, Gillian Kelly has become a beloved staple on Chicago's cabaret scene.
Coming Soon:
Celtic Muse
Gillian explores her roots! Claire and Gillian are currently working with flutist/composer Hiko on a show of traditional Celtic songs and Celtic-inspired originals. Look for it soon!
