Susan breathes new life into beloved jazz standards, timeless classics from the Great American Songbook, and a sprinkling of contemporary surprises. She’ll be singing iconic compositions by legends such as Duke Ellington, Harold Arlen, Billy Strayhorn, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles.A native New Yorker with a lifelong passion for music, Susan’s journey from the world of finance to the stage has been nothing short of extraordinary. The unique combination of Susan’s jazz and cabaret singing along with her ability to infuse each performance with warmth, wit and a passion for storytelling, has earned her numerous accolades including Best Vocalist in the 2024 Broadway World NYC Cabaret Awards and a nomination for Best Female Vocalist for the upcoming 2024 Annual MAC Awards. Her debut show in 2018, “Nobody Else But Me”, directed by the legendary Marilyn Maye, was also nominated for a MAC Award for Best Female Debut.
