Sally Mayes - 01.25.12 6:00 PM

The New York Times calls her "a singer of incandescent ebullience, deliciously saucy."  People Magazine describes her as "the kind of rich theatrical voice that elevates a show tune."  And Time Magazine says, "Sally Mayes renders songs as richly nuanced as one-act plays."

Her rare and much anticipated nightclub appearances have garnered her rave reviews from Coast to coast, and she has been nominated for twelve Manhattan Association of Cabaret (MAC) awards and has won two BISTROS for excellence in Cabaret and recording. "Music runs through my blood," as Sally puts it. "It isn't something I do, it's something I am."

She has appeared on Broadway in Cy Coleman's Welcome To The Club, and is perhaps best known for her performance in She Loves Me for which she won Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle nominations.  Urban Cowboy garnered her another Drama Desk nomination, (Featured Actress in a Musical), and she most recently appeared in Steel Magnolias.  She has several solo albums, including The Dorothy Fields Songbook, Our Private World, The Comden and Green Songbook, Boys and Girls Like You and Me, and her latest release, Valentine. 

This Cabaret 88 performance is her acclaimed Story Hour, a woman’s journey through the stories of her life.  Some of them will make you laugh, some will make you cry, some will make you think and hopefully everyone will learn something along the way.  The hilarious, heartbreaking, award-winning evening displays every song as a story and demonstrates that Sally is truly at the top of her game.
