WHAM presents Penny Orloff's Songs and Stories from a Not-Quite-Kosher Life

By Maggie Gautier, Literary Arts Manager

Overview

Penny's solo show is bursting with heirloom melodies, stories of her Jewish immigrant family, and tales from from her zany life in Showbiz.

Penny Orloff… assured and excellent in every way. New York Times

This funny, multi-faceted story of one woman’s journey through Showbiz entrances from its first word to the last. Seattle Fringe Review

Ravishingly descriptive and continuously entertaining... incredible warmth, wit, charm... Brilliant! Bellevue Post Intelligencer

…a sweet and charming presence, narrating the story while acting an assortment of characters... her self-effacing humor is enjoyable and authentic. She sings in a soft, legit soprano …Penny Orloff is so darn likeable! Broadway World

Penny Orloff was a working actor/dancer in Los Angeles when a Juilliard scholarship took her to New York. She played featured roles on Broadway and sang more than 20 Principal Soprano roles for New York City Opera. In a career spanning more than 50 years, she starred in over 100 productions off-Broadway, regionally, and internationally. Her first solo show, “Jewish Thighs on Broadway” (based on her best-selling novel of the same name, available at Amazon.com), toured the U.S. for a decade, including a successful off-Broadway run in 2005.
