After
a lifetime overthinking every second of every day, cabarettist Molly
Pope sets out to find the one thing that has always escaped her: a good
time. Armed with the two things absolutely necessary for a good time—a
gay man and a piano —she indulges in a set of songs she's always wanted
to tackle, but never found a good excuse to sing until now. Concepts
like “fun” and “joy” and “just 'cause” on hand, she deploys her
signature neo-retro style to get back to the elemental sweet spot of
cabaret.
MOLLY POPE is a singer et al. whose shows have played Joe’s
Pub, Feinstein’s/54 Below, Feinstein’s at the Regency, Ars Nova, The
Eugene O’Neill Theater Center, OBERON (A.R.T.), Teatro ZinZanni (Joe's
Pub Seattle), and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Australia. Hailed as
“One of downtown cabaret's most adventurous performers" by the New York
Times, she is the recipient of both the 2016 Bistro Award for Creative
Cabaret Artistry and the 2016 MAC Award for Musical Comedy. She has
been named a Time Out New York “Top Ten Cabaret Act” and a Village
Voice Best of NYC for “Best Singer To Turn Life Into A Cabaret.” She has
also performed at The Cafe Carlyle, the Afterglow Festival in
Provincetown, “Our Hit Parade” at Joe’s Pub, Greenwich House Music
School’s “Uncharted Series" and as a resident artist at The Orchard
Project (Saratoga Springs). Stage credits include FOUND (Atlantic
Theater Co, Philadelphia Theater Co), Horseplay, or the Fickle Mistress
(LaMama ETC/Theatre Askew), The Making of King Kong (Target
Margin/Immediate Medium). Her original solo musical, “Polly Mope,”
premiered at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia last summer. "Molly
Pope is the next big thing of 1963…she transports the audience back to
the thriving Greenwich Village nightclub scene of
yesteryear...viscerally thrilling alto: a rich gusher of sound..." Time
Out New York “It would have been enough for Pope to just be a
(phenomenal) singer, but by gum, she's a legitimate actress, too. It's
only a matter of time before Broadway discovers one of its greatest
stars.” Playbill.com "Irreverent wit and multigenerational cultural savvy..." The New York Times
